Let's say no more about it!
(Other than to say, perhaps, that this may not be the FINAL artwork, and that maybe the art department need a FEW more days to tweak the colours, and that maybe, possibly, this piece might not even be by the hand of Mr Percival.)
(But let's face it, it's hard to tell the difference, right?)

FIRST!!!
lol, I'll do a blog post about this!
so abstract, i love it.
BTW, is kingdom of the wicked in E-book? Your canaminions are getting restless!
(canadian minions)
nothing to to with drugs BTW *wary*
WOW, It's so amazing ;)
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
What? How dare you imply that I am being sarcastic????
I resent you for thinking that...
COME TO SOUTH AFRICA, MR. LANDY. YOUR AFRI-MINIONS NEED YOU. SERIOUSLY. WE DO.
Your first and greatest Afri-minion,
Lord Vlaedr.
OH MY GOSH.
I have never been this close to the top before...
Wow, do I hope you see my message, Mr. Landy....
You golden troll...
Derek, did you draw that cover yourself?
Its quite nice for a first try!
NICE!!! :P
That is just FANTASTIC!!
I love it!!
How can this NOT be the cover?! :P
Love this Cover. Pure amazingness.
Thank you Bethany and Colleen! You have wonderful taste!
Editorsarticle- KOTW is in e-book format but that's as much as I know!
Lord Vlaedr- I'd love to visit Africa. Hopefully I'll get there eventually.
NJ- couldn't agree with you more.
Jordan- er... hi...!
HEY DEREK!!
Thanks Charisma...! Maybe I SHOULD be official cover artist. I'll talk to Harper on Monday...
Derek, when does the winning school get revealed??
OMG.....derek just responded.....
HE RESPONDED!!!! ALL REJOICE!
Perfect author is perfect, omg.
Luciana- you have taste. Be proud.
NJ- haven't a clue. Whenever I get the top ten schools and then get all the info.. I'll decide who wins then.
Nice Derek...im scared...im in a play tonight again
That's a little bit evil Golden God. You see, with my ridiculously slow computer the picture didn't load right away so as a result I had time to read the blog post and get super excited, then it loaded and all I felt was soul crushing disappointment (not that you're a bad artist or anything)
Oooooh- is it a major role, Zaf? Is it the lead??
God knows you're dramatic enough...
ahem...
@madi
LOL- that just made my day.
Okay :D
Also, Derek you are Fantastic!
Of course he is! h'es the golden god!
I wish Derek. Im just like a bunch of people but I got kids :D
Of course I have good taste, I'm me!
And me has almost a complete collection of SP books. They look incredibly sexy together.
I think I need to print that drawing out and put it on my wall - it truly is a piece of art! Belongs in an art gallery;3
Of COURSE I have wonderful taste, Derek.
I read YOUR books don't I?! :3
Derek if you're familar with the story Miracle on 34th Street, thats the play. And I do give Kris Kringle a big check
Madi- that was just, like, the perfect circumstance in which to read that post...! Oh that is so RIGHT!
Zaf- I'm sure you'll be BRILLIANT!
probably.
Omg, that's amazing!
And now I'm getting some weird looks from my sister for just sitting here laughing at 'nothing.'
Obviously, this should be the actual cover and anybody who disagrees should go die in a hole somewhere.
You know I'll be awesome lol. I wish you could come over to America, you'd enjoy my suffering, they put me in a dress
Oh, yes, we put up our Christmas tree today.
There's a little knitted Gingerbread man wearing a Santa hat decoration, but there are little black patterns on his head that I think look like scars, So I'm calling him Ghastly.
"Elder Ghastly Bespoke, The Gingerbread Man Christmas Tree Decoration"
*tacklehugs Derek*
Can you answer this while im gone? Can Scapegrace use magic after the brain transplant?
Yuup i gotta go :/
In a hole in the ground lived a hobbit...
*runs outta Blogland throwing candy canes to everyone and gives Derek a bigger one*
byes!!!
Ello-hay!
byeeee
Ok yes Zaffy scared as she about to walk out the door...
That is one J.E.P.I.C cover btw.
Bye, Zaf :(
Bye Zaf!!
*hugs*
I like the random flower on it, but it looks like it's going to be squashed when Tanith lands from jumping. Poor flower :(
Yes he can!
HI DEREK!!!!
This is an amazing cover, it really is! :D
Derek I asked you a question on the previous post!
It would be great if you could answer it.
Even though it is really super random. :P
Ohoyhoy Valice! ANd Derek!
Bye Zaf!
*reads text* ...am I really a psychopath?
WELL, THANKS FOR TELLING ME THERE WAS A NEW POST, GUYS. *glares* I WAS ON THE OLD ONE FOR AN HOUR!!!! *sets fire to the forest again*
*sets fire to the grass*
*sets fire to HarperCollins*
*HALF AN HOUR
*facepalm*
Hi Mayajune! :D
So either Scapegrace's new body has the ability to use magic, or magic is found in the brain! Which would be incredibly useful for Nye...!
I do love Nye.
And the science of deduction, it seems. :)
I wonder what his magical ability is going to be... The same he had in his old body? And wich ability did he actualy had? Derek?
Oh yeah. *sets fire to HarperCollins again*
*sets fire to innocent civilian and laughs as they jump into a fountain only to realise that the fountain is also on rire*
*sets fire to floor so they jump out of the fountain and into the fire :P*
*realises I'm also on the floor* *runs away, setting fire to parked cars as I go*
Omg, Star, sorry. I went on there just to write something, but nothing had been written for 1/2 an hour and I thought, well...
And, Derek, I have a question. You know when you said 'Amy and the Doctor (a beautiful young lady and a charismatic genius centuries old... come on, how could you NOT ship that?).' in a previous post thingy, surely that can apply to Skulduggery and Valkyrie, so does that mean you DO ship Valduggery? Because, you said...
That's fine, Ieni. At least you thought to look. :)
Gerabelle would be the cutest ship name ever
DEREK TOLD ME ALL OF HIS SHIPS ARE CANON! THAT'S THE GOOD THING ABOUT BEING THE AUTHOR!
and, I was thinking, does anyone actually ship more ships than me? Cuz, if not, I claim the title of Queen of Ships!
WHat are your ships? (And also will Gerabelle ever canonifey?)
Ah, okay, I'm still sorry though :(
Anyway, seeing as you're here, I'm obliged to do this:
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!!!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
*Nods*. Yes, you are the queen of ships.
HI MAYA! It has been an incredibly long time since we last spoke . . .
Uh-oh, I want to start setting fire to things irl now. :/
This cannot be good . . .
Msd.
Derek, that is a masterpiece. Damn you and your amazing drawing abilities. Damn you.
Yes it really has. I think I last came on in September or likewise
Hey Maya! Oh my God, the last time I chatted to you, it was the Requiem Ball...
Derek, are you still online? :) *tacklehugs Derek*
GO ON ASHLEY. ASHLEY ROBERTS FOR I'M A CELEBRITY JUNGLE QUEEN! :D
IENI! *aeroplanebananatacklehugs* :P
*tries to stop wanting to set my duvet on fire* I'm glad I don't have matches anywhere near me . . . :/
I'm fine, I'm just imagining my bed being on fire. That's all.
*starry eyes* Pretty pretty fire . . . *sets fire to post office*
... is everyone avoiding me, or... :(
Maralie *hugs*
*Maralie!!
Hey leni! :) x *tacklehugs*
HI MARA! *sets fire to pencil*
*giggles*
WELL...
TANGUINE, CHINITH, VALITH, SKULITH, TACK(TANITH&SPRINGHEELED JACK), ANYTHING WITH TANITH, CHINDUGGERY, CHINKYRIE, BASICALLY ANYTHING WITH CHINA, CHINDUGGERITH (OT3), GHANITH, GHAVEL, SKULVEL (SKULLY/RAVEL), SKULLY/GHASTLY, WREATHGUINE, WREATHDUGGERY, VILEQUESSE and tons more I can't be bothered to list but are probably out there somewhere:3
*shakes head* No no no, Maya. Ieni with an upper case i. Not lower case L. But you can use an upper case L. :)
Hiya Star! :) *hugs*
Hey Luci! :) *hugs*
Anyone watching I'm A Celebrity? :) x
I'm going to print that out and frame it.
*laughs at Scathio and sets fire to a sailing ship*
Not me, Mara, sorry. *sets fire to jungle*
Hmm...everyone is tacklehugging Derek.
*ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* Derek.
*Grins evilly*
Star, are you still setting fire to things? Obviously, yes...
Omg, Clover! That's just...
Omg, Star, thankyou! Sorry, Maralie, capital I comes up as the same as lower case l, annoyingly, which is rubbish -_-
NOOOOO CHARLIE AND ASHLEY ARE IN THE JUNGLE YOU PYROMANIAC!! *screams in horror* *runs around in circles*
I did that a few weeks ago. It was painful.
BUTTTTTTTT . . . *sets fire to the rain, then leaps in fireproof car and laughs at all the Bloglandians getting covered in fire*
Hi anyone who came!
Any trekkies here?
I'm VERY new to Star Trek
Ieni - Hmm... that's really stupid. Why would they want them to look the same? :o
*stalks IAC*
HAHAHAHAHA ASHLEY'S MOMENTS. OMG TEAM ASH 4 EVA.
*crossly tells jungle to stop, drop and roll*
This conversation seems... disjointed. Or maybe I'm still getting reused to blogland
I watched all the Star Treck movies (but only the ones with Kirk and Picard, didn't watch the others)Maya! :D
OMG, I think it was over six hours ago that I started setting fire to things . . .
BLAME ZATHHHHHHH. :)
HE DID TELL ME TP BURN EVERYTHING. HE DID.
STOP SETTING FIRE TO THINGS YOU PYROMANIAC.
Because they're cruel people who enjoy watching others suffer *nods*
*Hides from fire*
I don't think I can hide from fire. Oh, well. It can hide from me, instead. *nods*
lol XD
Of course, Mara. *sets fire to nothing, which is no thing, so isn't a thing*
Yes, indeed Ieni.
*watches TV contently*
GO ON ASH OMG YOUR ACCENT IS SO CUTE LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
CHARLIE NO OFFENCE YOU WON'T WIN.
Yay Trekkie!
I've only watched "Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home" so far.
I don't watch Voyager-Star Trek...
don't know why...
It was email who told them to make I and l look the same!!!
Join me in my war against, email, Ieni?
Except my war is kinda failing. Firstly because I was trying to wage war on email using email, secondly because me and Cain kinda got sidetracked and started setting fire to things . . .
Don't use fire. I'm scared of fire. Since my house went up in flames 6 years ago. It was scary cause my dogs were in there *nods* But they got out. Then died a few months after... *sighs*
Argh Fire! MUst escape
Beam Me Up Scotty!
:( *stops setting fire to thinks*
Msd.
YAY, SCOTTY! :D
Hmm. I like that cover.
Although, yeah... the colour, or rather the absence of it, while dramatic and artistic, doesn't quite fit with the established scheme.
Pity. It would have looked lovely in my shelf. Well, I guess I could always print out this one and wrap it around the book once it's here.
*things
You can set fire to my pillow pet though!
I swear, that thing is evil... O.O
YES, SIR! *sets fire to Mara's pillow pet*
Furbies are evil as well. Pure evil
*laughs evilly*
NO WAY. FURBIES ARE AWESOME.
Furbies?
*looks on Google to what furbies are...*
Omfg, I thought I recognised the name! My friend used to have one and I absolutely adored them! They are so amazingly cute!
Did you see Merlin, Star? Were you in hysterics through the entire 'Merlin is a woman' bit...?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!!
CHARLIE WON?!?!?
wow.
IT WAS . . . ODD. :P
The guy from Merlin was on DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ANd Furbies ARE evil. When they run out of batteries then they continue talking except their voices go all warped and it sounds like they're screaming...Evilly
It was amazing, I refuse to take no for an answer.
Agh, no, getting tired now. This cannot be!
I should really go before I get too tired and accidently start insulting people :/
BUT I DON'T WANNA GO! (Ten regerating)
*Nods* He was. I think Gwen was as well, at some point...
Actually going to go now :(
Byebye!
Bye Ieni! :) *hugs*
It was amazing, yes. :) FOURS IENI!
DEREK.
Do you watch I'm A Celebrity?
Starrrrrr.
I'm really bored. Wanna chat about really random stuff like ice cream? x)
:( I'd like to, but I'm really tired, sorry. My eyes are aching. I should go to sleep now . . . :(
Okey dokey, go to sleep then :) Night x *hugs*
Sorry I disappeared for a while there. I need to go Secret Santa-ing now.
Byeeee!
Bye Maya! *hugs*
Hmmm hm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hm hmm hmm hmmmmm hm hm...
Oh dear Lord. I'm so bored, I'm humming the national anthem. O.O
DEEEREK.
WHAT TIME DO YOU GO TO BED AT.
I've just reached a new level of creepy.
I MEANT, can you come online. PLEEEEASE.
*beat boxes*
IN WEST PHILIDELPHA BORN AND RAISED...
God dammit, I'm so bored.
I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go,
And all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me here alone,
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight,
Tonight
LUCI! Oh my God, it's civilization! *tacklehugs*
11:11
I WISH THAT ONE DAY I CAN MEET ONE DIRECTION AND BE BFFS WITH THEM FOREVER.
I've been here a while, sorry.
I just... Didn't feel like talking.
It's alright :)
*yawns*
NO. NO MARA. YOU WILL NOT GO TO SLEEP.
*muses* Maybe I'll get my hair cut.
If you're tired, you should sleep :)
Derek, you deceiving little munchkin...
I know... but I want to stay up late...
Heya Georgina x
Coffee, then?
I wish. Daddy won't let me get up. He's practically sitting on top of me. It's uncomfortable... -_<
Omfg that is FANTASTIC!!
*shoves* *runs into kitchen* *steals coke*
Derek, that is... that's wonderful, that is.
I would be so happy if that was actually the cover.... IT'S BEAUTIFUL. And FINALLY, I could try to draw a copy of it!
Also,
WE NEED TO ARRANGE OUR IRELAND MEETING, DEREK. BECAUSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN IF I CAN'T MEET YOU IN A MORE NORMAL WAY.
Derek, if that isn't the REAL cover, you could always put it in the title page... It would be WONDERFUL there.... :D
Hey Val! :)
Derek I'm putting this on my wall, it is beautiful! I love it!
Hello :3
Lauren - Amen!
Ahah thanks Marlie.
Hello btw.
Derek, get back on here! Everyone knows you wouldn't be in bed at 11:40!
Hello, Gero.
I'm going to apologize to you all in advance for my foul mood...
Maralie* Sorry.
Hey Lucy!
You people should've seen my hysterical laughter when I saw this... I started shouting, "IT'S BEAUTIFUL, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! OOOOOH, IT'S GLORIOUS! IT GETS BETTER THE LONGER YOU LOOK AT IT!" and I broke into a mad cackle.
Thanks, Derek. You've caused me to go insane. Again.
Derek, Val's right.
Stop watching us go insane and come online.
Hello Lauren.
I kind of went insane earlier when I found the last book I need and then found out I'll probably be able to finish my SP collection by New Years...
I put up a Christmas tree today. I really wanted to leap on it like in 'Elf' to put the star on...

Omg well done Lucy!!
That is SO cool Val
Cya Maralie *hugs*
That is unreal omg :P
Val emailed us saying how beautiful the post was, in CAPITALS. I knew it was the cover, so I rushed to the blog, imagining how wonderfully epic it would be, and....
IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!
It's glorious beauty brings metaphorical tears to my eyes.
I TOLD YOU EVE, I TOLD YOU
I just drew a picture of me and Derek burning down a city... and... uh... It's, it's beautiful.
If only I had read your email earlier so that I could bask in its awesomeness for longer.
I'm sure it is, Val. I'm sure. It. Is.

Derek, you HAVE to look. You just HAVE to. It isn't the one I mentioned a few comments ago, but it's glorious... LOOK AT IT AND BASK IN ITS BEAUTY
WOW!
I love it! Cant wait to put it on my shelf.
C'mon Kes, you know you love it!
Hello!
PLEASE twll me Derek's still on...!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is epic. Could you, like, put this on the inside cover?
Hello, Dragonheart!
I like your thinking, dragonheart!
You know what it should be? The cover of the book of short stories.
lol this drawing is a million times better than anything i can do so no matter wat im impressed
Hey Kestrel!
Loving the awkward flower in the background...
Are those butterflies?
DEREK!!! I thought I'd let you know I did well. And thanks for answering!! Now excuse me I need sleep nearly 12am, last show tomorrow 2pm EST
forgive me for being rude but
Are you kidding me?
(He's using that to delay us from attacking him for the real one)
well tell him its not working
Uh... Okay, I'll tell him.
Derek, Eathan says your drawing isn't working....
Hi :)
At first I could only see it from a distance because my screen is tiny. I thought then that it wasn't colored and that I thought was odd. Then I zoomed in on it and I started to laugh. It is so awesome. I laugh a lot at really awesome things. My sister got my an amazingly awesome present and I started to laugh. God, I love laughing. This MUST-not should; MUST-be the cover.
Person! I don't think I've ever seen you before. Hello! *sniffs unidentfied organism* You're clean!
Hey people! and LOL DEREK!!! You made my MUM laugh when I showed her that, and thats saying something.
Sorry I havent been on in AGES everyone, life has been incredibly, unbelievably busy! But, here I am.... is anyone else on?
A total BAMF...
Nice work Derek :)
Hey Ariana :)
Calidae!!! HI!!!!
I've missed you :)
Calidae!!! HI!!!!
I've missed you :)
:) Yeah soz! And same.
:D
So what have you been up to?
Hi soz my comp crashed just then and wasnt turning back on again!
Its the end of school year in NZ, and I only just got back to nz from travelling round europe, so we had to move back into our house and settle into school etc. even though the year is ending, ontop of loads of other stuff!
Wow! That's a lot.
Traveling sounds fun though. Always wanted to travel...
Hello!!
Actually, while I remember...
Derek. Page 321 of Dark Days.
I'm pretty certain there is a mistake.
It says:
Marr hurried over, shackles in his hand.
But that's Davina Marr. And she's a GIRL.
So, thoughts?
hi good morning
Hi Brad!
Good morning everyone.
Hi Chase!!
Everyone doing well this morning??
