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
