Very nice, and thanks for mentioning my beach.
You're very welcome! I had the older version and was really chuffed (while looking for something else here) to find there was a new one. Such beautiful work!
QuoteOne tiny thing; the girls belly is floating. The book must be very exciting I like it that the e-book is hanging in mid air though. SF-like.
Entirely true.
I was at the end of a long day of tweak-it-and-render-it, oops-not-quite-right, tweak-it-and-render-it-again... and finally I just stuck it up there without realizing it needed one last tweak. (Actually I have to go back to Daz and make the change there: got so obsessive about what the character's right hand was doing that I lost sight of the hovering midriff.)
Though... she
could be hovering; she's a wizard, after all...
But yeah, the SF-ish look is intentional. Magic in the Young Wizards universe is strongly grounded in science... (or maybe the other way around...) and wizardry doesn't stop at atmosphere: it's a galactic-and-bigger phenomenon. So the books are SF. When they aren't fantasy.
