The cover art for this novel was commissioned especially for this story from Raikoh-illust. The picture is of Grimoire, and is rendered in Raikoh's stylish take of the MLP cartoon style. The detail is accurate, but intentionally emphasized for the purposes of making a nice cover. (You'll understand what I mean by details better by the third chapter.)

Realizing I was writing a major novel, I wanted something more than my usual frame-capture manipulated in Photoshop. I found his illustration, The New Mare, and was taken by it.

Raikoh has courteously consented to publish his work-in-progress images for the commission. I particularly like the sketch. He was a pleasure to work with and I felt his commission prices were fair. Find his WIP composite here: http://raikoh-illust.deviantart.com/art/Starlight-Glimmer-WIP-597369650
