CHAOS CHOREOGRAPHY cover reveal.

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret around here that I love, love, love my DAW covers, or that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Aly Fell, the artist who does the art for the InCryptid books, is incredible at capturing and presenting these characters. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:

CC-700-1100


OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO CHAOS CHOREOGRAPHY AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

Look at Verity, all dressed to dance (or die) and still prepared to kick some serious ass! Look at Alice!!! Alice Price-Healy, on the cover of a goddamn book! (Aly, absolutely thrilled when we said "so she has tattoos covering half her body, hope that's okay...") And they look related without looking the same!

Chaos Choreography will be released by DAW Books on March 1st, 2016. I could not be happier right now. What do you think?

(As always, I claim full comment amnesty, although I love it when you comment, because I can show my cover artists and make them happy.)

Alice looks -amazing-. And the fact that she's going to be in Chaos Choreography raises all sorts of squee-inducing questions. Oh man, that will be a perfect treat to read after the research-heavy winter quarter that's coming up!

Ahhhh!

I remember you mentioning this cover a couple of years ago and it has definitely been worth the wait.

Seconded! This is the most beautiful cover of yours ever!

I didn't realize how SUPER young Alice looks. Dang, almost twins. Wowza.

The tattoos are even on the correct half! :D

OMG. I was looking forward to this before (but not as much as the Antimony books, tbh). And now that Alice is on the cover? Uhm. Yes, please. Gorgeous cover. Can't wait!

So pretty!

Also, I remain intrigued by exactly where she's carrying all the weaponry :-)

Oooh. I am so excited for this book!

That is *awesome*! I love Alice's tats - that butterfly is beautiful and they both look just like I pictured them.

That's just in time for my birthday! :-) And the cover is definitely gorgeous.

And don't answer if this is a spoiler, but I'm wondering if I missed information somewhere because Alice and Verity look about the same age...

You missed information! Verity has talked about it before.

It's very pretty, but the glaring lack of basic gun safety makes me want to scream, or back away very slowly and never be around either of them in a dangerous situation.

Authors have very little power over publishers' choices in artists and artwork, so I know not to be unhappy with McGuire for the cover. The perpetuation of bad gun-use stereotypes are, sadly, to be expected even with enlightened cover artists. Consider it a teaching moment when you loan your copy to friends.

Shiny!

Now we just have to figure out where to get a 4-story version printed to hang in the Chessiecon hotel atrium (*grin*).

Looks amazing!

ALIIIIIIICE. yes, good.

I love that she's less made up than Verity, and has her(?) ring on a chain.

November 20 2015, 18:29:47 UTC 1 year ago

That is her wedding ring. :)

Wow, that looks amazing! Nice return to dancewear for Verity, too.

And also, Alice; this should be interesting...

Looking forward to it.

Love!!

I cannot wait to get my hands on this! Verity looks just right!

Okay, this is awesome and is definitely making me look forward to possibly meeting Aly Fell next weekend!

And neither of them is looking coy or showing us their bottoms or twisting in anatomically impossible ways. I have also been impressed by the covers -- though they often have startling quantities of blood on them...

(I'm not mentioning how excited I am about the book. Which I am.)

IT'S SO GORGEOUS!

Yes, I did have to shout that.

ooooooooooohhhhh! Please compliment your artist for me!
