@Daeus *chokes* That is hilarious.

@Daeus oh dear. That’s awful. Try a little perspective next time. I hear it works wonders.

@Daeus WHAT YOU WERE SITTING HERE WORRYING ALL MORNING??? 😛 Loosen up a bit. XD

@Daeus sorry I’m late again… @Hope wasn’t kidding when she said I had mice in the wifi box. Seriously. Twelve of them. They were promptly ejected, but they did mess things up quite a bit… 😛
And that definitely sounds like it could work; your idea. I especially like the idea about the letter. One word of caution— I can tell you from personal…[Read more]

Oh yeah…heh. 😛 @daeus
Well, I kinda like the black and white idea, but I would be warned to make it readable. I don’t know what your thinking of, but what I have in my head is hard to read. And are you planning on keeping the guy in addition to the noose and the girl?? or would you loose one of them. All three of those would look cluttered. I…[Read more]

@daeus If he is struggling with something, he could be pouring over a book on a desk, his head in his hands.

@daeus Just a thing about that guy (who I’m assuming is Edwin Brooke)…at first glance it looks as if he is holding an axe, not a cane. (or is it even a cane) And I also am not sure about all the faded letters in his face.

Your graphic designer is going to hate me for that… 😛

@Daeus here I am! Returned from the dead!

*dives into critic-mode* Okay, I like it? First problem is it doesn’t fit the genre. Not sure it quite looks like a romance, but it doesn’t really fit the story. Some of that may be because of the boring brick wall but you said that’s going, so… yeah. For an action/adventure though it’s too calm and…[Read more]

@daeus I had to scrutinize it very closely to figure out that he’s holding a cane. At first glance, it looks like some strange kind of shoe or something. Also, the red lettering doesn’t seem to stand out very well, though I would be careful if you brighten it, because you don’t want it to look like Santa Claus’s coat. I think the hand with the…[Read more]

@daeus I think the picture is really neat, with the deep dramatic shadows, I just don’t like the title font too much. Like Emma said, it kind of seems plastic. I think maybe if it were a little more aged and worn looking, it might fit better. Also, I thought the design behind it almost looks like it’s part of the road, though I’m not really sure…[Read more]

No… maybe I should just wait until the internet connection isn’t so spotty. That shouldn’t affect it, but maybe it does. And I’m about to lose signal anyway…

Huh… that is weird. I’m having internet troubles, maybe that’s it?

@Daeus it’s not showing up…

@Daeus That is cool. Those buildings! I love them.

I think your name would look better the same sort of color as the title, but darker; and also what Hope said—the fonts do look a little mismatched.
Though actually…I think it’ll be great once you change the name color, without changing the font.
And the stuff about the rain too.

The title…[Read more]

@Daeus oohhh, I really like it. I would say yes, probably better to get your name matching the title. Also, a bit more technical piece of criticism here… my inner graphic designer is screaming at me that there should be more motion in the picture. It’s a lovely dramatic picture (love the shadows of the houses and such) but a lot more could be…[Read more]

@Jess that’s kind of neat.

@Ethryndal Will do. 🙂

@emma-flournoy @sarah-h @rolena-hatfield @sierra-r @kate-flournoy @jess Thank you all for praying! If you could just keep it up a little longer, it would be much appreciated. I think it’s so amazing that people here pray for each other even though they’ve never actually met in person. It makes you think about how big God really is, that He can…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson I personally like illustrations, if they’re done well, though too often I pick up a book with illustrations that look like they were done by a four year old. (You know, blobby noses, faces that are basically just a circle, and pathetic backgrounds)

Or the illustrator paid absolutely no attention to the author’s descriptions. Like, a…[Read more]
