Assuming Alex is okay with that cover (even if not quite “fine art oil painting” style, in keeping with others used lately), could you upload your "cover source" of choice, Weijia? I expect you've looked for the most suitable... Thanks!

[Alex Cabal]

We can use this cover, we've used similar styles in the past.
