POLL: Cover Art · 7:31pm Dec 10th, 2019

I'm contemplating updating the cover of EQG:SAO-Aincrad. I'm looking for your input!

The cover was pieced together by me using images I was allowed to use by others who created them. Their creators are cited in the details. I am now very aware that it is Sunset Shimmer dressed as a character named Mordred. I have over 50 chapters written and today's release is Chapter 18, so the Fic will keep going for a while. I did my best to match the cover to the original SAO cover style, but I could only find Sunset with a sword (the other characters had different weapons that what they use in the Fic).

So, what do you think? Seriously, I know this book is tracked by 215 people, and on over 500 bookshelves. I need input from y'all. Should I order a commission?
Also, if you say change it, any suggestions for the design? Do you have any artist suggestions?
Below are some of the SAO covers for reference.

I personally like the cover the way it is.

I'm fine with the cover being what it is currently.

Tbh the current is the only one that actually makes sense. You would be able to tell it's MLP Crossover fiction looking at it.

I was thinking of having one designed to mimic the SAO ones, but with like Bladescape and Knightstar, or Doombunny on it.

I gotta be honest I love the original cover art and would like it to stay it also just makes a bit more sense

Personally I like the cover art just as it is, however I can understand wanting to make a good thing even better. Sadly I don't know of any artists who are doing commissions right now.

Thanks for the input. It is very appreciated. I want to have the best cover possible. I do like what I was able to put together.

I'd say the background is fine, but if you're really in for updating the cover art maybe look into a new foreground with a couple of the Woncercolts in their guild armour. I wouldn't know anything about who to go to for commissions though.

That's what I was thinking, their armor on the cover. It's an idea.

Yeah as is but guild stuff

I'm also good with the current cover art.

The current cover is what drew MY attention back when you released the first chapter. I also thought that is what Sunset would be wearing throughout the story and her weapon of choice.

Great to know! That makes me feel well.

Current art looks fine to me.
