It's like the cover on anything, it's the first thing the buyer see's usually, and even digital content has thumbnails of the cover art. I think it's crucial and when I'm paying for art, the cover art is the most expensive piece (short of maps, but I do all my maps).On the second, then you'll probably hate all my maps - they're all color (I've done one grayscale map on commission, because the publisher asked for it), but even my color maps in grayscale look fine (not all art looks right when done gray instead of color). I'm a detail man, so publishers even let me add content to the floor that isn't in the author's work, nor the rough draft - it just fits the setting. Some of my work is hand-drawn based, but most is either completely vector (although still looks in Photoshop or something), and I'm starting to make fully 3D maps. But you can easily deliniate the details... but yeah, arguably, you might call it distraction. Here's the kind detail I put in my maps - this is hybrid vector and 3D.
