Extra-special thanks to Coral Leaf and Hyperstorm_H for the new cover art!

If some of you have seen the early comments on my story, "The Expansive Romance of Applebloom and Coral Leaf," you might have seen a number of people were horrified and disgusted with the art I had originally put together for the cover.

However, while a scant few seemed to feel the first chapter had potential, my first attempts at anthro-pony art had some assuming that the artwork would horrify and turn people away. So, I gave into the criticism, and removed it.

However, I did have a good friend in Coral Leaf, who helped commission a piece from Marauder6272, redoing the pose of Applebloom and Coral Leaf. From there, I was allowed to choose my colorist for the piece, and I had one name already in mind: Hyperstorm_h.

Hyper's coloration is some of my favorite work on some of CL's commissions. His use of light and shadow has surprised me with how he can 'sculpt' the image, let alone make Applebloom's massive bosom look so firm, yet squeezable!

I did make a few changes to the art, to keep with the romance novel cover. However, I do intend to provide a link to the original art, once I get it posted to my FurAffinity page!

Once again, thanks to Coral Leaf and Hyperstorm_h, as well as Marauder6272! All three of these men were instrumental in getting my brain going on writing this crazy story, and hopefully, we won't have anyone claiming the new cover art as 'horrific.'
