Hi everybody, I've read that some of you haven't read the book.
I read the book many years ago, but I found this summary that is pretty good.

Great story about family, self-help and hard challenges. Highly recommended!

Below my take so far on this cover. I'm almost done but I'm gonna take a break.

For those of you who like to skip until the end, here is part of the whole process and final piece.

@josegalue25 It's great to follow-along on your work-in-progress.
I really like the border on the left half-I think it really reflects the half-ness of the Knight-that he is half-armor. The border is half-way around the book (in case I wasn't very articulate).

I like the palette in the lower left with the green. To my taste, it is a little more regal than the others which feel more contemporary and more earthy.
