Sophie asked Shannon Messenger:

Did you get to see the 'Neverseen' cover in different stages of its development? Or just shiny!?

Shannon Messenger For the KEEPER books I always get to see a rough grayscale sketch of the cover at a very early stage to make sure I like the direction (and before that I get to make a bunch of suggestions for the scene and whatnot)

I'll usually give a few notes based on the proof and they'll send me a revised grayscale sketch to see if I'm happy with the changes. After that I usually won't see the cover again until it's all shiny and amazing.
