As soon as i get home i'll send you the link to dropbox. I was yesterday looking at my cover and imagined the front image at the back in a collage with the rest of the characters and the back Adele image at the front. Do you guys think it could work?

That could work

Here's another new TT

I like the new TT, but not sure about the grunge you have over it. How does it look without?

I did a google search on "egyptian symbols" and it seems like you've been lucky with the choice of symbols

- The Bird (Ba):
The Ba is what we might call someones personality. It would leave the body at the time of death. During the days the Ba would make itself useful, at night it would return to the tomb. At this time, it would look for the person to which it belonged. This would be the mummy, however, often the egyptians would supply the Ba with a statue in the likeness of the deceased in case the mummy was lost or damaged.

- The cross symbol (Ankh) means eternal life. I guess that's where Tut got his middle name...

Couldn't find the last one... Here's a link to some symbols: http://www.egyptartsite.com/symlst.html

Didn't see your post there, Z - sounds like I was lucky!

The TT works much better without the grunge imo.

Ark would something like this work for your back layout? Adele holding the piece of paper (with special feature on it.) Of course the hand/paper will have to be repositioned.
