Any and all feedback is welcome!
That sir, would have been glorious indeed.

Well kudos to your artist very impressive work. I truly LIKE the hex overlaysTyrel Lohr wrote:All of these covers were illustrated by a Spanish artist named Luis Nunez de Castro Torres. He contacted us several years ago and, like most of those kinds of emails, I checked out his portfolio to see what kind of work he'd done. I was pretty impressed, so we contacted him and had him do the artwork for the Those Who Serve cover. When 2E became a reality, we then contracted with him to do several more covers for us.
One of the things I liked about Luis' work is that some of it had Lovecraftian vibes that I thought would work great for realizing some neat alien species. Like Redspace07 noted, most sci-fi tends to focus exclusively on humanoid aliens, but I personally like my aliens to be a bit more, well, alien -- so I definitely encouraged Luis to go that direction with the art.
In these cover tests, I tried messing around with some hex overlays at the top and bottom (and, in other drafts, along the sides). What's the consensus: do the hex overlays look good or end up detracting from the cover art?
