Eh, the art’s not bad. It’s just in prismacolor, which is very difficult to make into a book cover. I’ve seen a few artists who could do it, quality wise, but they are few and far between. The style generated by colored pencil is simply rarely workable as a book cover.

Seriously? This is what is posted???
omg, that is beautiful! i thought my tumblr as ****ed up but NO! now i want to know; how long has it been like this?
Don’t they look back at it when they upload? *SMH*
Ironically, one of the book’s reviewers says/shouts —
” […] THE ART WORK FOR THIS series IS BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU,” (sic).
Perhaps they just think the dragon is modestly changing outfits behind a grey screen?
Now THAT is funny. I guess a dragon does need to shed it’s skin every once in a while. Evidently dragons are modest creatures.
Perfect cover for your 50% off promo.
Looking at the part of the cover that did load, maybe it’s a blessing that the rest of it didn’t load!

There are a few of these around http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bryce-Marie-Wadsworth/dp/159286323X published by a vanity publisher, so perhaps it’s the vanity publisher’s fault.
Although when you take into account that it’s actually meant to look like this, it’s probably an improvement. http://www.authorsden.com/WorksCover/9200.jpg
