It would me. Too many ramifications result otherwise. Not that a writer has a say in the cover, but how hard can it be to darken the skin? Did you kvetch? I'm flat-out wondering now if the artist didn't have that picture painted already, and simply add the pomegranates to zero it in a bit. Do you recall Whelan's cover for RAH's Friday?

Also consider "The Wall," which is -- so far as I know -- my own original analogy, for aspirants: http://bradrtorgersen.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/i-stood-before-the-wall/ Best wishes. I've been semi-lurking on your blog for awhile, ever since I sat in the audience at one of your Norwescon panels in 2006. Your writing discipline and prolific production are flat-out inspiring.
