We got the cover art for ELANTRIS.  I'll post it as soon as I know whether or not I'm allowed.  Those of you who are around, however, can come look at it on my computer.

It's gorgeous.  The characters aren't exactly what I expected, but are they ever?

The perspective also wasn't what I was expecting, but it certainly does show of the artist's style.  It's a pretty amazing piece--so yes, I'm pleased.

I'll post it if I'm allowed.  The artist still has the copyright, but I'm not sure what kind of contract Tor has for publicity purposes.

I'm sure even if Tor dosen't have anything that would let you the artist would let you if you give him credit and a link to his site (talking about for your website).  Just ask.

I'll wait to see what my editor says, then I'll contact the artist, if appropriate.
