The captions contain information regarding the elements of the cover I was responsible for. For quite a few of these books I also designed and formatted the interiors.

ALl elements except for the background map (by Jared Blando) are original artwork and typography. The snake sword is handdrawn/painted by me with digital tablet and Photoshop. Enlarge for detail, I am very proud of it.
