One style I am talking to an artist about is something along the Myth Adventures line.
The original ones, not the later ones which I think are too cartoonish I think. But the early less cartoonish/more classical ones seem like a good sort of style.
Of course, the reverse of the cover is (literally) the blurb. Probably need to rework that for Book 1, and will need to generate one for book ii.
Several people weren't thrilled with the current blurb, apparently thinking/fearing the book would be "Game of Cheech and Chongs"

I wonder what awe-inspiring moment will be on this cover?

According to the ever whiny T-A-G that has been a subject of great consternation.
In part because it has to be representative, and enticing, but not give too much away. So no Tom vs Talarius for example.
Right now the thinking is the initial summoning (e.g. circle of wizards w/Tom in the middle)
However suggestions are welcome.

I would have liked the Tom vs Talarius cover.
well....
How about the time when Tom, Tizzy, Rupert, Jenn, Gastrope, and Maelen travelled together? There is a lot of characters but it does give the Adventure vibe.
Also, a scene in the "The Ripe Young Maiden's Surprise" would also be great. It would be quite humorous and fantastical at the same time.

In terms of the traveling together, thoughts have included the battle on the ship; the campfire when Maelen discovers they are being followed by the Rod.
He's thought of The Ripe Young Maiden's Surprise, need to optimize the time with the most characters are there...usually it's two or three at a time.

Designing a compelling visual identity for a new manuscript takes a lot of careful thought, as that initial image is what ultimately draws readers in and sets the mood. Much like how large Step & Repeat Banners create an instant, cohesive brand presence at author signings and promotional launch events, a well-crafted jacket design serves as a permanent backdrop for your story's marketing journey. Striking the perfect balance between typography and illustration ensures the final product stands out on a crowded shelf, much like the distinct design sensibilities of Birttani. Investing time into this creative phase helps establish a strong first impression that stays with your audience long after they finish the final page.
