Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

Hi hi~!

Since NaNo's over and I find myself lacking in things to do, I thought I'd reopen my cover shop, so to say.

Here's a few examples of my work:

Also, I'd really appreciate it if someone would make me a Createspace-ready cover in return, but it's not required in the slightest :)

Requirements/Info Needed:

The ones marked with a * are absolutely needed.

Oh, and if you're willing to make me a 300DPI Create-space cover (back and front, spine is not needed), then please PM me. I would really, truly appreciate it. But, like I said, it's not required. I will still make you a cover either way :)

~Lia <3

Hey, would you be willing to do my cover? Thanks a lot!

~Ziairi
P.S. I really like the first cover.

Title : Abandoned

Author/Pen name: Kristina

Summary: Ericka, who is 17 years old has to survive in a world where mutants are hated. When she finds seven year old Daisy, who has just found out about her powers, Ericka rescues her. One of the government's spies saw her, and they think that Ericka's powers might be useful...

Mood/Theme/Etc. : I think that the best way to describe the mood would be to copy & paste the first page.
I glance around the dark alley. No people around, and there's no security system in sight. Good, I might actually get something to eat today. I took the last few steps towards the garbage can behind the convince store.
I very gently lifted the lid off and leaned it against the wall. It looked like there was some good stuff in the can alongside all of the trash. I began to dig through the aluminum can. I smile to myself as I pull out a can of soup. That would be good for dinner for both me and Timothy. I slide it carefully into my bag and I continue to look. Among all of the trash I saw a copy of today's newspaper and I placed it into my bag. I also see a pencil tossed in there. The lead was broken, but I could get it sharp again. I slipped it in next to the newspaper.
All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew down the alleyway and sent the lid rolling noisily along the pavement. I winced and almost froze, but I quickly start to stuff anything that I could get my hands on into my bag.

Colors: No real idea, have fun!

Ideas/Pictures you want: See above answer. Nothing too cheery though.

I'd love it if you could make me a cover. :)

Title :* A Thousand Suns
Author/Pen name: * T.N. Kleen
Subtitle (if any)
Summary: * Jessie Long just wanted to get paid. That was the only reason he'd traveled to the Texas Territories. He had not gone there to save a dragon, or to start a war.
Mood/Theme/Etc.: It's a post apocalyptic urban fantasy.
Colors: Black and white with a hint of blue
Ideas/Pictures you want: I don't really have any in mind, so just have fun with it. :)

Title : The Grey Town

Author/Pen name: A. J. Brennan

Subtitle (if any)

Summary: Elijah was born into a perfect, precise world. In school, he learns about the prevention of germs and good manners that would put the Queen's to shame. Leisure time is spent with his designated friend for the month, enjoying activites such as strolling through the manicured park and visiting the elderly.

Until Nora forcefully stumbles into his life.

Capturing Elijah's attention with her eccentricity, she tells him stories of the world past. A world long cast in darkness. Of a failing government, of the Resistance, and the of the plan to save them all. The plan that involved fitting everyone with masks - terminating individuality as a means of solving the problems that arose from it.

Haunted by the knowledge that he has a face of skin under his mask, Elijah slowly begin to go insane.

Mood/Theme/Etc.: Sad.

Colors: I was thinking black or grey with a dash of red.

Ideas/Pictures you want: Mask.

Title : The Test of True Love
Author/Pen name: * (I'd prefer if this didn't have one, actually. Let me know if this won't work)

Summary: Jasmine was a spoiled princess who was always right until she met Trevor, a clergyman unafraid to tell the truth. Trevor makes a habit of condemning the Queen, a crime punishable by death. Intrigued by his beliefs and the honesty that could get him killed, Jasmine keeps meeting the young man. But when the two fall in love, Jasmine is forced to reveal her secret relationship and her new faith to her mother, the Queen.

Angry at Jasmine's deceit, the Queen throws her daughter in prison to change the stubborn girl's mind. It is in the cells of the dungeons that Jasmine learns the depths of her faith and the strength of her love for her intended...and her mother.

When she is released from the dungeon, Jasmine recalls Trevor's admonishments about forgiveness. Her determination to forgive the Queen becomes a struggle when she learns of a loved one's death at the Queen's hand.

Jasmine soon faces a choice. She can honor her mother and marry a groom she's never met, or honor her love for Trevor and refuse the match, insulting the temperamental Queen in the process.

Ideas/Pictures you want: If you could show a difference between the couple's worlds, that would be awesome. And some sort of picture that represents what brought them together (a Bible, horses, the waterfall where they met) would be awesome. Thanks!

I've made a few other requests for a cover for this novel, but it looks like the artists are MIA. So... yeah.

Title: Tessellate
Author: C. J. Jefferson
Tagline: Love isn't a simple pattern.
Genre: contemporary queer romance
Synopsis: It's a romance between a math major named Tess and a free-spirited artsy type. Tess is introverted and neurotic. She has intimacy issues and basically sabotages her own chances at happiness. MJ, however, is persistent and willing to make ridiculously grand romantic gestures.
Colors: bright (orange, teal, green, etc.)
Mood/theme: quirky
Ideas/other: A few notes. Tessellate is a math term that deals with patterns. (Technically, covering a plane with a repeating shape.) It's a Tokyo Police Club song, but that's not really relevant...

Everything is set on a college campus (UPenn). It might be cool to use Locust Walk (part of Penn, there are plenty of royalty free images online) because that's where they meet, and it has cool patterns in the brick. But please feel free to do whatever you think is best.

In terms of appearance, Tess is 19, short brown hair, brown eyes. Tends to wear hoodies, jeans, converse--really casual clothing.
MJ is also 19, but she has long red hair and green eyes. And she usually wears a beret, but that's super specific....

Other important symbols are sunflowers. Math symbols.

Title: Monochrome and the Magpie
Author/Pen name: Evan-Tom Crowe
Subtitle: N/A
Summary:
Savoy “Mr. Magpie” Blue is an experiment. Fourteen years old and thirteen of those he's spent in Genetisystems' Aspen Pediatrics Complex, a research facility that has the sole mission of learning about how human gender and sexuality really ticks. Blue loves it there, he can do as he likes most of the time and is taken care of. But then he's Tagged, and his options are being sold out of the facility or being Chopped for parts. Now that he’s been sold, though, he’s been sold to an organization fighting against Genetisystems called The Bird’s Inn, and he’s left behind his best friend, and everything else, but he’s suddenly making more friends with people that are a part of the Bird’s Inn. So does Blue break the loyalties he has to his home, the place he’s lived for thirteen years, or does he side with the people who he’s now forming new alliances with? Is the decision really that black and white?

Mood/Theme/Etc. : It's a generally rather dark book, though it has comedy and romance.
Colors: Anything with a lot of grey in it.
Ideas/Pictures you want: No magpies, please.

Hi so I'm working on a Createspace cover for you, but I'm not sure how good it'll be so, we'll see.

Title: Katharina of the Flames
Author: Daniel Zimmerman
Summary: A young girl, Katherina, on the Utopian/Dystopian island of Novin, is interviewed, in a nation wide search for a bride for Magniloqos Vespo. A few weeks after an interview that she was sure would clear her name from any consideration (as she wanted to prevent getting selected at all costs), she gets notified that she is to go to the second round of interviews. In competition with several hundred girls here own age, she must compete to go to the next rounds. Through here persistent effort to not get selected, she is chosen, but finds out that the interview process has been a ploy to find a determined youth to protect Magniloqos Vespo from the northern rebellious armies. The majority of the books takes place from this point on where, Katherina, must, for the public, pretend to be the engaged bride of Magniloqos Vespo, but in reality must find ways with a few other characters to defend and defeat the rebellious armies. A large section of the book is Katherina in battle.
Ideas/Color: I've always picture Novin as an technologically modern yet still medieval sort of place, so maybe something to that effect, but whatever's cool. Also, I've always imagined green as the Novin color, so if you could possible incorporate that.

Thanks a million.

Your covers are amazing, and if you're still offering them, I'd love one. I'd make you one in return, but I don't have that kind of talent.

Title : Gods of the Mountain

Author/Pen name: Laura Neale

Summary: Moxie Potts lives her life by the Gods. The temple is her passion and her work. But recently, the Gods have sent her her visions in her sleep, dreams of a man. Starving and filthy, he prays nightly for someone to help him.
Before she has time to question why or what, Moxie finds herself neck deep in the unholy yet intriguing world of magic. Her faith is tested to the limit as the Gods' demands go beyond anything she thought herself capable of.

For ten long years, Ronan had lived in the Pits under the name of Ire Sykes. Those years have made him hard and taught him to hate. But he dreams of a better life. A life of freedom, of peace, and of plenty. A life on the surface world.
When his own life gets too dark for him to bare, he decides to make a break for it: to make it to the surface, or die trying. He soon finds that the struggle for a better life does not end there. He must contend with the prejudice of the citizens, and fight to keep his past at bay. When a young maid extends her hand and home to help him, he finds himself dragging her down to his own level.

Mood/Theme/Etc: A fantasy book with themes of gods, magic, and political rebellion.

Colors: Whatever you feel would work best.

Ideas/Pictures you want: Again, whatever you feel would work best.
If you need something more to work with, a few images spring to mind, but nothing I'm particularly attached to. The setting is a mountain city and the mines that lie therein. The sun, moon, and stars are worshipped as gods. There is a magically significant plant with white flowers and red berries. The symbol of the main character's faith is a helping hand and sword crossed in front of a shield. The main character has striking blue eyes and a desperate, pleading stare. That's about all I can think of right now.

Title : The Dark Seed
Author/Pen name: Risa Makey
Subtitle (if any): Gabriel
Summary: The arch angel Gabriel has come down to Earth looking for his older brother, Michael, who disappeared more than a century ago in human time.

A group of teenagers have been out drinking and generally having a good time. The next morning, they wake up with no memories of what happened to them last night. Investigation reveals several videos made of them torturing and murdering people.

Rairy is an apparently normal high school girl who worries about such things as her grades, finding a boyfriend and what's going on in the world. What she doesn't expect is to develop the ability to see ghosts and angels and to find a diary that enables her to hold conversations with a boy from the past.

These three stories eventually become intertwined as someone has begun making their move against the celestial forces in the world
Mood/Theme/Etc. : Fantasy; good and evil; angels; dreamscape
Colors: Any
Ideas/Pictures you want: If it helps, the character Gabriel looks a bit like Dylan Bruno from Numb3rs, while Elena (the woman who ends up with him eventually) looks like Nicki Aycox. But, really, I'll be happy with anything

Title: The World You Thought You Knew
Author: Kathleen Myers
Style: mostly light-hearted, but it does get intense towards the end
Genre: futuristic/medieval adventure (it's actually not a time travel story) with a rather large splash of humor and touch of drama and love
Synopsis:
1300 AD
Will is a farmer's son living in England. His life is simple. He mourns his brother Robert, lost while hunting the White Stag, and dreams of creating the Philosopher's Stone and meeting Lady Eglantine, the beautiful, gentle lord's daughter. His greatest fear is being married to one of the ugly, loud-mouthed village girls that his father is considering for him.
2400 AD
Mira is a snarky, pretty teenage girl living in the crater of an extinct Mt. Vesuvius in a high-tech city. She's grown up knowing her world's history: the 2020 global terrorist attacks that nearly destroyed the Earth's crust and shattered the goverments of Earth. She also knows the extreme measures the few surviving members of ruling classes put in place to ensure humanity's survival. Her biggest worries are which color to dye her hair next and how to keep her slight kleptomaniacal tendencies from her friends.

But when Will catches a glimpse of a secret stretching throughout the world, and Mira sees something she was never supposed to know, their lives will be changed forever.

Their worlds are closer than you think.


Ideas: i was thinking a slim, short, black-haired girl on one edge, facing the middle, a tall-ish, tan, brown-haired guy on the other edge also facing the middle, both standing in profile, with /something/ (a picture of the earth, or something futuristic and something medieval) seperating them, but something through the center or along the bottom linking them.

I hope that helps. Anything would be appreciated though really. I've posted on a bunch of different threads offering covers and haven't gotten one, so whatever you come up with will make me happy.
Thank you!

Hi, I adore your covers. They are the best I've seen on here!

Title : Adroit

Author/Pen name: Derek Roiter

Summary: Six high school friends all take breaks from their busy lives at college to spend the summer together. Their fun-filled freetime turns deadly when an old friend they thought was dead comes back, angrier and vengeful than ever; out for blood. Killing the friends in terrible, torterous ways, he is basing their death traps on their talents and their college majors. The remaining students will have to fight fire with fire if they are to get away alive.

Mood/Theme/Etc. : I kinda want it to be dark and creepy, like the basic horror novel haha

Colors: blue, black, grey, etc

Ideas/Pictures you want: something kinda creepy and such haha I really don't care as long as it portrays the mood of the novel

Thanks in advance =)

I'll get to all requests this weekend :)

Title :* Freefall
Author/Pen name: * Kat Haley
Subtitle (if any) : Love is a force greater than anything you've ever imagined; it's pretend. (is it possible to do two versions of the cover? One with the tagline and one without? Sorry :P)
Summary: *

2013.
The water has always called to Lara Vaugn. As a child, it robbed her of her sister. Now, as a girl of 17, it's everywhere. It's on her paintings on the wall; it's the color of the eyes she see every day in the mirror. She knows its song and dance well; the only thing she's never seen before is its age.

1912.
The Titanic. The greatest ship the world has ever seen. Thomas Hindley, gentleman, had never seen such a vessel before. Another thing he's never seen the likes of is his sister's new friend's handmaid. She's different than the girls his family's name is associated with; there's something almost wild about her, yet contained in all the grace he sees every day. It's like she doesn't belong in his world of 1912. Does she?

It was a whimsical idea on her part, something she thought might help her think clearly. What she didn't know is that he was waiting, unaware, on the other side. Suddenly, violently, the artist and the gentleman are thrown into a freefall of lives, pasts, futures, and things they never thought were tangible.

Mood/Theme/Etc. :
Colors: Misty blues and greens...the ocean/seawater is a big part of the plot.
Ideas/Pictures you want:

Is it too much to ask for a banner as well? :3

Thank you!! :D

So, if you're still making covers I would love to swap. I can make you one.

Here's my information:

Title : Games Of Deception
Author/Pen name: Laurel Eddins
Subtitle none
Summary: Caught up in a whirlwind of lies and recently accepted to the Peace Corps, Reyna Larnstrom decides to leave Eugene. In Africa, where she is posted, she works diligently, trying to forget the ties to her old life.
There she finds herself in the midst of a vast conspiracy, one that stretches back far beyond her birth. Everybody in the project has something to do with it, but what is her role?

SHe knew that she was alive, but she also knew that it was hopeless to wish. Until her daughter comes with a group of Peace Corps representative--but she had no idea that Zoe is her mother.
Erin has never known her mother. She has lived her life believing that she died soon after she was born. hen, is Africa she begins to unravel a truth that nobody knows about. Who is Zoe Elliot? And why is she not dead?
Colors: Dark, maybe grey, black, some red
Ideas/Pictures you want: Not sure. Maybe a girl standing at eh edge of a cliff? Or someone tied up? Or chains? In other words, no idea!

I'll get yours to you soon!

I don't know if you'd be interested in doing a cover for a Harry Potter fanfic, and I'll understand if you don't want to try this, but I haven't got a cover yet for one of my December/January writing projects and I'd love to see one. (:

Title :* The Redemption of Severus Snape
Author/Pen name: * Blue Jewel Fanfiction
Subtitle (if any): Something along the lines of "Book 1 of the Redemption series" or "Redemption Book One"
Summary: * Dissatisfied with Dumbledore's plans for the Order, Harry and Hermione make their own plans. They will redeem as many Death Eaters as possible before the end, even if it means becoming outcasts themselves. First up: Severus Snape. Meanwhile, Harry's Occlumency lessons take a strange turn, as he and Snape experiment with a new method and end up addicted to each other's minds. This WILL be a Snarry (Severus/Harry). The main characters are Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Severus (Alan Rickman).
Mood/Theme/Etc. : The fic is pretty dark, as Harry and Hermione are going to join the Death Eaters and some generally nasty things are going to happen, so a dark theme would be good.
Colors: I like the idea of blacks and whites - either the whole thing, or the background behind the actors (if you decide to include them).
Ideas/Pictures you want: Something centered around the Occlumency addiction thing might be good (with or without Hermione on the side). Maybe some cool swirly white magicky looking stuff over a black background? Really, it's up to you. I like seeing what people can come up with.

N.B. Since this is a fanfic, I wouldn't worry overmuch about copyrighting issues. People make fanfic banners with the HP actors all the time, you know?

Also: Since this is part of a series and I have a general idea of what the rest of the "books" will be (there are four total), if you wanted to take on all four of them to create similar-style covers it would be the most awesome thing ever. I'm super patient too so as long as I got the first cover in a timely manner I wouldn't mind waiting for the others, say if you like the concept but don't have the time to spend making all four at once. ^^ If you want to do this - again I understand if it won't work - then let me know and I'll fill out the form for the rest of the books.

Hey, if you'd be willing to do a cover for a different novel of mine, I'd be eternally grateful. I completely understand if you don't want to, though.

Either way, here's the info.

Title: Put Out the Light
Author: C. J. Jefferson
Super vague summary: It's basically my ode to Sherlock Holmes (but also BBC's Sherlock). A picaresque detailing the cases of Malcolm Leight, private consultant to the Philadelphia Police, and his sort-of partner Peter Grayson. (Set in modern-day, by the way.) They take a variety of bizarre cases, all the while dealing with relationship issues and family issues, and just about every sort of issue imaginable while Leight's past starts to catch up with him.
Mood: It's kind of gritty and absurd and romantic schmoop all at once....
Images: In terms of motifs and symbols, the most significant category is LIGHT. In just about every form. (Room lights, lightning, fire, stars etc.) Also detective imagery, such as a deerstalker cap (because Leight enjoys being ridiculous). The city itself is really important, too. But... don't feel obligated to stick to this.
Colors: I don't really have a preference for this one... for some reason there seems to be a lot of seafoam green in the story, but whatever works.

Hallo. I'd love a cover :D

Title :* Branded
Author/Pen name: * Caitlin Brooks
Subtitle (if any)
Summary: * : In this society, a select few people are born with tattoo-like markings and with accompanying, unique abilities. Those without these markings are afraid of those with, and outcast and prosecute them. It becomes a punishable crime to even bear a child with marks. These outcasts create their own sanctuary, from whence they decide not to allow this unjustness any more.

I have two main characters; one has her marks on her eyes, something like a Celtic knot going around her pupils, something like: http://alabex.deviantart.com/favourites/41150079#/d2zfn3l , except with a black pupil. Note that I don't have the rights to that image, only that it makes a good example (: It's alright if you can't find a way to incorporate that, just thought I'd mention it. My second main character has blue mask-like markings almost like the kind you would see at a masquerade, suggesting water.

Mood/Theme/Etc. : there is a lot of sarcasm, but mostly the mood is fairly serious. there are undercurrents of outrage, of feeling united after being outcast... A big theme is equality.
Colors:
Ideas/Pictures you want: Sorry, haven't got any. I'm open to anything (:

I would love a cover for my novella, if it's not too much trouble.

Name: A Spiral of Light
Author: J.A. Stokes
Subtitle: N/A
Summary: Ten-year-old Hannah Marley knows what angels look like, so when she finds a bleeding man with ragged gray wings standing in her house, she's a bit surprised to say the least. The young girl is at a lost for what to do, and when she tries to show the man to her mother, she can't see him. The winged man introduces himself as the Archangel Uriel, and things are suddenly a lot more complicated. What is Hannah to do with an amnesiac angel, demons beating her door down, and her runaway father suddenly reappearing again.
Mood/Theme/Etc: Mysterious, a bit sad
Colors: The grayscale and purple, with a bit of blue
Ideas/Pictures: I'm open to anything!

Hmm, I love them all, but the second is definitely my favorite. Thanks!
