Werewolves 2 cover art process

Art process for Phillip Simpson's gorgeous cover for Werewolves 2: Pack Mentality. I absolutely loved the sketch idea with the huge werewolf behind the three human soldiers, but ultimately the more dynamic wolf leaping over the jeep composition won me and the editors over. What do you think?

Previous instalments I've posted from 'The Fall of Ottawa' presume a female 'Sam.' I'd like to gauge interest in whether or not I should offer a version of the story with a male Sam so readers can choose their ...
