Description
This is a mock cover illustration for Meredith Ann Pierce's "Firebringer Trilogy", because I didnt like the official omnibus cover (Trust me, the cover is no good to you or me). Aljan's near-death experience in the first novel of the trilogy is the inspiration for the cover.Aljan and the Firebringer Trilogy are property of Meredith Ann Pierce, and all that other legal jargan.

I'm wondering if I could post this picture to Tumblr? I made a blog that's basically just meant to be a collection of art for this book series, and what art exists is 90% on this site so I'm asking around for permission! You would of course be credited as the artist/post would be linked back to this page here. Would you mind me doing this or no?

Sure! There's a tumblr tab right under the share function next to the image. It makes it really easy to share from deviantart to tumblr, and embeds a link back to the original picture here on DA. I also have a tumblr @scribbleymarkΒ

I don't know how I missed commenting on this before, but I'll do it now! This looks fantastic. (It's ever so much better than the wacky cover of my copy of Dark Moon...) It makes me want to draw Jan for the first time in ages... Maybe I will! Thanks.

Dark Moon was my favorite book of the three...but I dont know about that cover. >.<
If you decide to draw and post Jan, I'll make sure to swing by and take a look. Thanks for your comments (and compliments)

Do you know which one I'm talking about? The crazy crayon/cut out-looking one? Just...wow.

This one? O.o [link]
All I have is the omnibus...and if youve seen it, you'd know its looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old girl. Someone paid someone else MONEY to draw that? They could've paid ME money! Alas!

That's the one... And I said the exact same thing when I saw it.

This picture is excellent! I like how you put the moon sliver over his head and the flame on his hoof.
I agree that this would a MUCH better cover. My three-year-old cousin could draw a better cover than what they have.

Thanks for the fav. I'm going to look up the firebringer series- it looks mythological/apocalyptic?
The dynamics - the falling horse, rearing, the strike of flame against the very very black, dense night- fantastic.

Yes, the Firebringer trilogy is a mythological tale with a bit of an apocalyptic edge. The trilogy is suffused with a sense of dread and urgency...at any rate, its a strange read (in a good way) and well written (The second book is my favorite...) Anything you can find my Meredith Ann Pierce is worth the read, though.
Anyway, thank you very much for your encouraging comments! >.< Your work is very powerful as well!

Watercolor, indeed!
Thank you very much for your comments and the fav. I've seen your Firebringer works before too and they're very impressive! So such compliments from someone who's work I admire is very nice to hear. Thanks again! >.<

Ah! Its the book with the stuff and the things and the you talking about it!
But really, you should send your version in and write a letter saying "Look! I fixed your cover!"
PS - Ooo staaaaars ...

FIELD OF STARS! >.<
I would love to send them my cover...x.x but there's not even an email address for the author, anywhere! Apparently, she has no known address. She's hiding from the crazy fangirls (like me.) ALAS! @.@

You're not so bad yourself!

EEe! I'd much, MUCH rather use this cover for my book than the one I've got. >.< Yours is so pretty, and dynamic with all the poses and background and lighting. The sky looks really real!

The horse unicorn thing looks like it's made out of metal..o.o because of how you did the values on it...
