They weren’t running through space. It was kind of an overlay of the characters, pasted over the top of the main ship in FTL travel. I’ve seen it implemented in other places, and I thought it would be a good style on the cover. They actually fade into the background a little, as if to say, “They’re not actually there…” Perhaps I need…[Read more]

@aratrea:

Sure thing. I’ll post when I think of any. 🙂

@Daeus I prefer Dire Recompense, too.

@daeus Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea? Mysterious Island? Michael Strogoff? Jules Verne is fun to read.

Here’s an alternate cover idea.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like it as much as the others, but if I just change the layout a little, add, perhaps, the dimensions of the ship, it may look pretty good. It’s just an idea I have.

@aratrea

No, sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant to say that the post timestamp is at, like, 2:00 in the morning, or 11:53 at night, depending on the time of day I post. It’s not delaying them at all, on the contrary, they come up the second I click submit! Yeah, what you said. 😛

Okay, EST. I’ll have to look that up. 😛 Well, concerning the updates,…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Actually, I meant to write, “Can you tell that the character on the right is a girl”? 😛 Good grief, my mind was working well that time. Not! 😛

@daeus

Oh, okay. I think I might try something completely different now…

Also, @2, I think that might be overdoing it. :/ IDK. I’ve got another idea that the Animal Farm cover…[Read more]

All right, version 1.2 is ready!

I have another question… Can you tell the character on the left is a right? It would be a bit more obvious when I have the final character models, but this is all I have for now.

@winter-rose:

Okay. I’ll try and work on the question-asking-ness. 😛

@hannah-krynicki:

Excellent! 😀 Larger text it is, then…
Yeah, texturing is the hardest part for me. I can do lighting pretty well if I’m concentrating on that.. That’s how I got the metallic look. ^_^

@ethryndal:

Okay… It’s just showing the main characters, but maybe,…[Read more]

@leumeister @daeus What if you made them running…? Would that give a question – like, what are they running from?

Okay, here’s book cover version 1.1

Version 2.0 will probably roll around when I have a better modeled ship and better character models. 😛

@kate-flournoy:

Well, I want to keep the font metallic… It just fits with the style of the story. Thanks, though! I’m glad it looks like it will work! ^_^ How do you think I could fix the uniformity of the cover? Also, did the logo’s reflections catch your eye?
Oh, and the ship is in FTL travel (a term I use a lot in Aquila!), so you wouldn’t…[Read more]

Oops… I got the tags for Natalie and Grace W. wrong…

@nataliemarie @rebelutoinary

@Daeus I like it with the silver subtitle, too.

@s-g-dewey Percy and Archie are two of my favorite English names. Edwin is too, but it’s probably too medieval for the 1800s.

@clairec Me too. 🙂
