OCD

Having gone, in the last 1.5 days, through about 6 new covers of NIGHT OWL… speaks to a certain degree of OCD. There is something definitely unhealthy about this. I am done — I am so done messing with the cover. Fuck it.

I felt confident in my original cover concept, though over time its simplicity (and failure to allude to the trilogy) began to bother me. I went in the opposite direction then, with a cover that got too complicated and, for reasons unclear to me, novice looking. Something about the fonts and arrangement of the fonts…

The current and FINAL cover meets both concepts in the middle. It holds true to the original, keeps the allusion to the trilogy that’ll be on all three covers, and adds a cool color to the white/bronze/amber palette.

The words “it is finished” come to mind, but I don’t like to blaspheme.
