rejection | June 15, 2007

The fourth and last book of the series The Immortals by Tamora Pierce is called Emperor Mage. This is an unpublished cover for this book. I created covers for this entire series, and the cover of the first book, Wild Magic, can be seen here.

    Willie, thanks! I was thinking about IF as soon as I woke up this morning. It’s not me, the inspiration came from a book called Emperor Mage.

    The highlights in the charmed symbols really, really add the perfect polish to this piece.

    This piece looks great–did you update it since you originally showed it last year? I don’t remember the background elements.

  16. Tina Says:

    No, I haven’t changed it! The show last year was so busy, I’m sure a lot of people didn’t see all of the details.
