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: http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/8656505814/1/tumblr_lpmm1e0nPh1r044be http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/8265051110/banner-for-myself-so-sang-the-meadowlark http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/8140428261/1/tumblr_lp0dyuWQkt1r044be http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/7900303667/new-banner-as-well 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: Title :* Author/Pen name: * Subtitle (if any) Summary: * Mood/Theme/Etc. : Colors: Ideas/Pictures you want: 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!

Hello :) Here is your cover~! I'm very sorry for the wait, I tend to sleep a lot ^^;; I'm...a little satisfied with it, not so much. I usually like models on my covers, but since I didn't add one, I was disappointed in myself. I really liked this picture and since you mentioned you liked the first one, I thought it would be better than a model.Also, I think it's a little too..."light" for the book...but, tell me what you think! If you want a redo, changes, etc just let me know :) I don't bite~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/13685104373/abandoned-by-kristina-stock-by

catherine.julia.jefferson — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:03:54 -0600

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.

Blue - Think catlike or birdlike (just generally wild, although in a tame, younger, curious way) expressions and positions, he has chin length wavy black hair, and near-black dark brown eyes, as well as paper white skin. He wears an oversized faded black hoodie, which he never wears the hood of. He never wears shoes, and usually wears black shorts that reach halfway down his thighs. He collects shiny things in the pocket of his hoodie, which is the pullover type with drawstrings around the hood. Demetrius - The FtM, he's generally an ass. He's a pyromaniac and has generally messy brown hair and brown eyes and one pierced ear. James - The camp gay agent peacock character, he's showy and flashy and keeps the group together and happy. Shoulderlength fire red hair with hime cut and trench coat most of the time. Grey - The female of the group, she's strong and has the best work ethic of them all. She has long red hair and grey eyes. Settings: Futuristic Dystopian Society - Everything's been hunted or chopped, everything is artificial. Aspen Pediatrics Complex - The place where Blue is tested, also a set of four comfortable mansions contained inside a large perimeter of electric fencing, which hold the forest out and the test subjects in. Nora - The city just east of the Pediatrics Complex, think New York City a couple hundred years in the future. Basically, everything is large grass fields, rock landscapes, dirt fields, or snowy tundras. No trees and almost no wildlife except for in the gigantic cities.

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.

Hi hi :) Thank you~! You're novel sounds really cool :) Here is your cover~! I went with the whole "sun, moon, and stars" thing, except more with the moon, since the picture I found was definitely an eye-catcher and I think that catching someone's attention with the cover is important in the writing industry :) But, tell me what you think~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/13750692975/gods-of-the-mountain-by-laura-neale-stock

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

Hello, hello~! :D I apologize. I totally...did not go with the concept of angels or fantasy. I found nice pictures, but I couldn't edit them well enough to make them...pretty ^^;; So I went with already pretty-ified pictures ^^;; Cover and banner (in one post): http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14001439423/the-dark-seed-by-risa-makey-stock The banner is slightly darker than the cover. I wanted to make sure you could see the title and the image behind it :) Also, it seems that tumblr decided to KILL the quality of the cover. I don't know why that happened, since I saved it at the highest resolution possible. Ugh. I'm sorry about that. So, tell me if you want any changes or redo's :) I can contact this one guy who has these gorgeous angel pictures to see if he'll let me use them, if you'd like.

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!

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.

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

I just went with the setting, because settings is what I work best with. Models, though I love seeing them on covers, don't like to agree with me. They're hard to manipulate.

One with the title in the top left corner and one with the title in the middle. I put them side-by-side for you to compare as well. You can tell me which one you like better, or if you want a redo altogether :) Hope I didn't disappoint~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14340860542/two-versions-of-adroit-by-derek-roiter-stock

Oh my goodness, you are my hero. Sorry to ask, but I'm curious - would you despise me if I asked for another cover? Don't get me wrong, I love this one, but I was wondering if you'd be okay with doing another one with a deeper-ocean feel. Something less...ideallic, y'know? Darker, I guess. Like drowning, almost, cause the characters are on the Titanic. Haha, sorry :3 LOVE the covers!! <3

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.

catherine.julia.jefferson — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:29:19 -0600

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.

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

Paris and the Blue Jewel — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:08:06 -0600

It's GORGEOUS. xD And I totally would love the rest in that theme. All of these have the author as "Blue Jewel Fanfiction" and should have the same "Redemption: Book #" and theme and stuff, naturally. Book 2: The Redemption of Bellatrix Lestrange Summary: * Harry and Hermione join the Death Eaters, which is the group of evil people they're trying to redeem, and Hermione takes on the difficult task of trying to cancel an insanity-causing curse on the most infamous Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange. Mood/Theme/Etc. : This is even darker than the first book, as the main characters are getting deeper into evil in order to try and stop it. I'm not sure of the details yet (one reason why your plot-unrelated cover art is so useful at this stage xD), but there will probably be some times when they begin to question what they're doing and stuff. Colors: A similar color scheme to your first cover. Ideas/Pictures you want: More of the "magicky" looking stuff like in the first cover would be great, but with a different scene. Since you went with a window for the first one, I think maybe if you could find something with a door that might work? Or a fluttering curtain? Book 3: The Redemption of Tom Riddle Summary: * This is actually sort of the "conclusion" of the series, in which they successfully turn a bunch of Death Eaters to their cause and end up defeating the villain by redeeming him (he's Tom Riddle, a.k.a. Voldemort). The details are hard to understand without the background of the books, but they get him to feel remorse and that makes it possible to kill him, basically. Harry gets married to Snape and Hermione gets married to Bellatrix. Mood/Theme/Etc. : This book is less dark than the second one because it ends on a much higher note. This is when they get past the questioning stage and things really start moving forward. Colors: A similar color scheme to your first cover. Ideas/Pictures you want: I'm not sure what could follow up the door or curtain, but I'm sure you can come up with something. Again, ideally it should be similar to the first cover but with a different picture. Come to think of it, if you can manage to find a good curtain picture for book 2, an open door would be an excellent image for book 3. Book 4: The Redemption of Albus Dumbledore Summary: * This fic takes place a number of years after the end of the third book. Basically what's happened is that Harry and Hermione and the redeemed Death Eaters haven't interacted much with any of the people who never experienced what it was like to be on the side of evil, but now their kids are starting to reach school age and they have to deal with the "good" guys again. The biggest good guy is Dumbledore, who now has to face the fact that he was wrong when he stopped believing in them. Mood/Theme/Etc. : It's not nearly as dark as the others because there is no major bad guy, and I expect it to be somewhat shorter as well. It may kick off a sequel series about the next generation, depending on how much inspiration they give me and whether or not I'm still into Harry Potter fanfiction by the time I finish. Colors: A similar color scheme to your first cover, but maybe with a little bit more color? Ideas/Pictures you want: I have no idea. All I can think is that because this book is different from the first three, there should be something different about the cover, while still staying in a similar theme. So I guess I'll just see what you come up with. (:

Hello again :) I tried my best to go with what you asked for (curtains, open doors, etc.) Redemption of Bellatrix Lestrange There are two versions of this one. I had a hard time trying to find a nice picture of flowing curtains, but I did find these two. You can tell me which one you like, if you want any changes, or if you want a redo. I won't mind ^^ http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14461852219/two-versions-of-the-redemption-of-bellatrix (Click on one of the images to bring them up to full size and with a clearer resolution). Redemption of Tom Riddle I honestly don't like this one at all. There's no...magic feel to it, you know what I mean? I tried to add some "magic" feel by pixel-ating it just slightly as to not distort the image too much, but...I don't know. Please tell me what you think! I'd be happy to do a redo! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14462889557/the-redemption-of-tom-riddle-book-three-by Redemption of Albus Dumbledore Hopefully I spelled his name right ^^;; I always forget to add the "e" at the end of "Dumbledore."

Actually, the ones you were worried about are even better than what I was thinking of. They get across just the right mood. ^^ I'll use the cover without the woman in it for book 2, because it matches everything else better, but I'm still saving the other picture because they're both really pretty. xD And yes, you got Dumbledore's name right. I do have one adjustment that I think would improve things. For the Tom Riddle one, can you try to adjust the image such that the painting above the doors isn't visible? That way it isn't obviously a church and I can pretend it's the doors to Hogwarts or something. xD

You're welcome! By the way, for the Tom Riddle cover, I had to remove it from Tumblr because the stock provider messaged me and told me I couldn't used it off-site (deviantArt). I guess I misread her rules, but I removed it and didn't repost it to dA in fear of her/him/etc. getting mad for posting again after already disrespecting her rules. If you want it posted again, I can ask if I can reupload to deviantArt. I'm so sorry about this. It was a total fault on my part.

Well, I do want to be able to post a cover for it eventually, but I'm open to a variety of options. Normally I download and rehost covers that are made for me, but I'm not opposed to taking them directly from the original host and/or linking the picture to someplace. However, I won't actually be posting that cover for a while, so there's a possibility I would forget about linking. >.< Alternatively, if you'd rather not continue to deal with the person, I'm open to seeing another cover picture (although I'd like if you kept the same font for the title!).

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.

Title: Misericordia, or, Nights of Ash (full title) Author/Pen name: Aibhlin Chance Summary: There are Ned and Cain. They are vampire hunters, fearless killers of those who fear no man. They are skilled, they are deadly, they are willing to do anything and everything to protect humanity from the vicious appetites of the night-suckers -- including give up their lives. There is Andrea: Cain's young and beautiful wife, who more than anything wants a baby of her own, even though she knows how dangerous it would be to raise a child under the shadow of her husband's work. She's constantly terrified for Cain's safety, but can't do anything to help him as she longs to do -- or can she? There is Bram: a boy whose family were murdered by the vampires, who has been forced to flee the only home he's ever known. Alone, he tried his hardest to be brave, but there's only so much a boy of nine can do -- and the vampires might be coming for him next. There is Miles Blandy, a mystery. He is both a kindly, innocent, well-meaning neighbor; and an unwary bystander who found himself ensnared in the bloody world of vampires and hunters, who will do anything to get himself out alive -- even if it means sacrificing others in his way. These five find their stories suddenly tangled up with one another's, and a web is being woven that will bring them all together for the last, bloody revelation, where friends turn into enemies and alliances are forged in the unlikeliest of places. Suddenly it is no longer a question of human versus vampire, but rather of brother against brother, and their most deeply held beliefs and sacred truths are called into question. Who, if anyone, will survive the horrors to come? Mood/Theme/Etc.: Dark and foreboding :D Colors: Blacks and greys, perhaps with occasional spots of bright colors, like reds or white. Ideas/Pictures you want: A vampire's face would be lovely -- sort of like this, but with white skin. And male. Perhaps like this, but with black hair and, again, white skin. I love your work, and I'd be forever grateful if you decided to do this one :D

Title : Fugitive of the Fallen City Author/Pen name: Kalare Raine Subtitle (if any) Summary: Fairshore, an isolated, hidden, and magic-protected threshold, filled with people taught by values and honesty… One hundred years earlier, the knight Thogan Fairshore, escaped with his friends and family from the city Airathe to protect them. That is how Fairshore began, and it will probably never change from its strict and unbending ways. The Airathe City is dangerous… at least that is what Mavian Danth tells her. But Zivaliya, a young woman with a divided heritage, finds herself feeling trapped inside this safe, slowly moving world. Stories of danger and adventures told by a friend who has been missing for seven years filled her head. If only, she could make a difference, somewhere. Her wish is granted as she finds an injured mage, who landed in Fairshore while battling the cursed Hukkath, the demon whose black magic captivated the city. But before she could get help, Hukkath found his prey and spirited them both to his lair in Airathe City. Zivaliya and the other prisoners from different races managed to escape, but the mage sacrificed himself to distract Hukkath… Now she was in the city. Vowing to save the mage if he lived, and destroy the demon with the mysterious Shadow Dragons’ help, she realizes everything is much harder than it looks. She is dismayed with the people of the city; they had no values or love for the world around them. Each step of her way, she tries to make the people understand what they were missing. The Council of the Airathe City hated her for that. Under her guidance, the peasants were growing strong; even Hukkath’s black magic has been growing weaker... Allies and enemies were everywhere, hidden behind their own masks, some wanted her dead, and others… were waiting patiently in the shadows. Waiting to unmask their true intentions. Mood/Theme/Etc.: mysterious, somewhat dark and brooding Colors: I don’t have any specific colors in mind, I picture it dark, maybe with a hint of blue. Ideas/Pictures you want: I don’t have a lot of ideas, I’m picturing a medieval city(or castle) as a background. Maybe a teenager girl’s silhouette? Sorry, I’m not very sure. Do whatever you think is best.

Yo :) I had a bit of a hard time trying to find a good vampire stock picture that had a male model and not a female. However, I did come up with these three, two of them being vampires, one being a dark, shadowy setting. http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14629895448/misericordia-or-nights-of-ash-by-aibhlin and http://scientificstrawberry.deviantart.com/art/Misericordia-or-Nights-of-Ash-Cover-275259272 And thank you so much~! ^_^

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

reverse-paradox — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:55:43 -0600

Hi hi :) So, I did most of what you requested. The cover is dark with a hidden, yet visible blue in it. However, I didn't use a picture of a medieval city or castle. I looked for nice photos, but I just saw a lot that would be hard to edit and make it look...pretty and nice-looking. As I sometimes say, you always want to make your covers look magnificent--most people judge books by their covers, even if they don't admit it ^^. Hopefully you like it~! Tell me if you don't or want changes/redoes/etc. ^^ I don't bite, I promise~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14640387065/fugitive-of-the-fallen-city-by-kalare-raine

I just have to say I love that first one, that's awesome Title : Symphony of Voices Author: Lillie Scarth Summary: "I see through their eyes, know what they're thinking, sometimes what they remember." Zoë Davis is fifteen, violist with a secret. Her secret one of many in a world of turmoil. But there's something different about Zoë: she can see the world from anyone's point of view. It's an uncontrollable ability for her to look into another’s eyes and look back into her own. To her, it's nothing but a curse. While attending a college prep school for musicians, Zoë is confronted about her secret and is offered an option to rid herself of the monster that she posses. Under one condition: she uses her ability to access information from the mind of the 'master puppeteer' in attempts to solve series of murders are committed in the area. At the same time, she is introduced to a world of magic conflicting the attempts to chace down a killer. Ideas/Pictures you want: I don't have any pictures really . . . . Something to do with a viola? Sorry I can't be much help with this

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

Title: The Orphaned Author/Pen Name: Elisa Moffett Summary: It took him fifteen lonely years at the little orphanage in New York, but Derek finally found someone who wasn’t intimidated by his malformation. Luke, who was more than what meets the eye, even agrees to venture with Derek to find other Cyclopes. Enemies like the elf dictator, Kimaer, are made, but friendships with people like the runaway and thief Abigail keep them afloat through their journey across the country. When Derek, Luke, and Abigail find out they must stop a war that has been going on since the world began, they ready themselves for the challenge ahead of them. Between ancient hate, newfound bonds, and modern day, the orphaned ones must save the day. I have no idea about the rest, haha. Thanks bunches!

I'm speechless!! I love this cover, thank you so much for doing this :D The colors really draw me in... very beautiful (let me just say, I wouldn't like to be color blind). The title is also very cool! Thank you!!! The only thing I noticed that doesn't really agree with my story is the umbrella, my story is set in a Medieval zone... so I don't think they have umbrellas...

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

reverse-paradox — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:29:40 -0600

Hello :) I went with the viola idea, because it seemed simple, yet effective enough. However, I made two versions. I found one nice picture of a viola and edited it and found that it looked a little...sub-par next to the rest of my covers and decided to make another to see if that was any better. And I think it looks nice. BUT! The second link/cover...the instrument isn't a viola. It's a cello. So, that's the only downside of that one. (Viola version--watch out, it's really big!) http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14648034892/symphony-of-voices-by-lillie-scarth-stock (Cello version--normal size XD) http://scientificstrawberry.deviantart.com/#/d4jx00j Oh, and since you didn't mention any particular colors you wanted me to use and I found myself needed some color-reference, I ended up using pink (it's for the title) because...well, to be honest, it looked pretty and cute ^^. Anyway~! Tell me what you think! Please tell me if you want any redoes or changes ^^ I promise I won't mind!

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

reverse-paradox — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:43:06 -0600

Hi hi :) Your cover...hmm. Well, it's dark. Really dark. I wasn't sure what the mood of your story was, nor did I know what to use for pictures, so I just went off on a limb and...did what I thought was best ^^ Hopefully you like it too~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14648936183/the-orphaned-by-elise-moffett-stock Tell me what you think~!

Tough I did go on a search for a picture to use and a friend found this for me: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=viola#/dua1hj If it isn't any trouble, could you maybe make a cover using it?

The only problem with that image is that it isn't stock... I have no rights to their photos. It's copyrighted with a creative license to them. I could get in a lot of legal trouble if I were to take their photo, even if I did credit them back :( Sorry about that~!

I definitely don't mind~! I really enjoy making covers ^^ With this one, it...is still a little dark, but I lightened up the picture a LOT compared to what the original was. I also put in a less daunting font for the title. http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/14682087484/the-orphaned-by-elisa-moffett-redone-stock Hope it's better this time~!

Hey, I'm definitely being a pain, but I just revised my novel and a thought popped into my head. On my cover (the one with the title in the center) is there anyway you could add like a shadow or a black figure into the background? I absolutely love the font and the setting and vibe and everything, I just think it would be cool if there was like a menacing shadow or something. If you can't do this, please don't bother haha but if you can, I'd love you forever. Thank you so so so much and I'm so sorry for being such a jerk haha

Hey, so, I asked for a cover and got it, and it was really amazing, but I was wondering, since your covers are so great, of I could ask for another? If not, that's fine, but if you could I would be really happy! Here's the information: Title :* A World of Ice and Snow Author/Pen name: *Laurel Eddins Subtitle (if any) Summary: * 2032 Sofia lives in a world of peace and harmony. Anything that could be offensive to anyone else is banned. The Leaders, a group of four wise elders are the world's "overseers" , and war is but a distant notion. Then Sofia begins to see things. Light along the edges of shadows. A blur in the air where it should be clear. A whirring sound in the dead of night. And then she discovers the truth. Nothing is as it seems. 2046 Aria and Oliver live in a world of fear and trouble. There is barely enough food to eat, barely enough electricity to go around. And they are alone. In Northern Alaska, where they were born and raised, Aria dreams of leaving the cold world for a new chance at life. Her parents show her pictures of the outside world, a world bubbling with color and beauty. But whenever she asks to get out of the ice she is reprimanded. Nothing was as it seemed. Has the deception carried onto Aria as well? Mood/Theme/Etc. : Dark, but a little cheerful at the start. Colors: Whites, blues, greys Ideas/Pictures you want: Not sure.

Title : Echo Author/Pen name: Could you leave this off? :D Subtitle (if any) N/A Summary: Amanda talks too much, and about too many people. After her most recent insult caused a depressed teen in her school to commit suicide, that students dying wish is granted. Amanda has been punished. From now on, she can only build sentences out of the last words said to her. For now, it doesn’t matter; everybody hates her too much anyway. But, eventually, Amanda needs to speak, and then her whole life is turned upside down. Mood/Theme/Etc. : Young adult/fantasy Colors: Nothing too bright, but other than go ahead and do whatever you want!

Title :* Eagle's Cry Author/Pen name: * C. Angelina Subtitle (if any) Summary: * Mica never wanted to be a hero, but in a world at war she doesn’t have much choice. The dragons are fierce, they are terrifying, and on the ground humans don’t stand a chance. In the air Mica is the best of the best, but even she can’t be everywhere at once. Eagle has nothing left. No memory, no friends, no goal but to head east and keep her freedom. Instead she stumbles onto a military base, gets mistaken for a traitor and condemned to death. Her would-be executioners offer her a fighting chance though, which for Eagle is the equivalent of escape. The Crazies have been trying and failing to continue on without their leader, Mica. Their sacrifice brought hope back to the world, but where do the heroes go after the world no longer needs them? A mysterious girl they were supposed to kill inadvertently sends the Crazies on their last mission, and this time they may be the one most in need of rescuing. Mood/Theme/Etc. : redemption Colors: Midnight blue and gold, but that's pretty flexible Ideas/Pictures you want: I don't really have any ideas, so I'll give you the important symbols in the book. In no particular order: eagles (please not bald eagles) a broken sword (kind of like the shards of Narsil) a broken rosary, the desert, sunrise, and Mica's spaceship/airplane, which is described as "blue as the night sky, with the image of an angel that would linger long after the ship had left." Anyway, I hope that gives you enough to work with. If you still want a cover I'd be happy to trade, just nanomail me the specifics.

Your ideas: Title :*The Victoria Project Author/Pen name: * Nadea Bekh Subtitle (if any) Summary: * On a map of California, most perfectly fitted in the jutting angle, is a most perfect little circle marking the most perfect little town, Victoria. Built on visions of reputation, grandeur, and distinction, it comes right out of a fairytale with its sculpted hills, spray painted golf courses, and cookie cutter buildings. But fairytales never last, and as you near the south part of the city, things begin to turn more dark and dangerous, things begin to turn more real. Melody, Aiden, Dianna, Michael, and Ashleigh, five perfectly different people who’ve formed a refreshingly unperfect relationship, joined under the Victoria project. Together, they attempt to break barriers, prejudices, and assumptions, and maybe, in all the rubble, they’ll find a bit of themselves. That's my "summary" on the site... A more, understandable, version: Victoria, mostly North Victoria, is a town that hates change, hates anything different, anything new. These five highschoolers, Ashleigh, Dianna, Michael, Aiden, and Melody, are used to this. But when they all join the Victoria Project, each for their own reasons, they all realize that beneath every person, underneath every mask, there's an actual human being, a unique story. The Victoria project is founded to beautify the highschool and the city and general through student made murals. But the five kids don't want to make the perfect little painting the city, namely the board overseeing the project, wants. They want to capture something real, something honest. This, obviously, gets them into trouble, and each person has to question how much they believe in their cause and how much their willing to give for it, and themselves. Mood/Theme/Etc. : Colors: The murals that were painted were collages and representations of the diversity in the community, they were hopeful, yet real. The last mural was a silhouette of the kids holding hands, so that's important, too. Colors are not too contrast-y, like graffiti, but more toned down, a little lighter color scheme than monochromatic, but still vibrant. Ideas/Pictures you want: Well, I was imagining a dark, black and white picture of five kids (14 ish years) facing away from the camera and the title the focal point of it all. With the "VICTORIA" in caps, and maybe the letters are made out of a mural in contrast to the other words and background picture? Whatever you think, though, I'm sure will turn out awesome.

Hello, dear :) I made two covers, because both models look extremely different and are both doing different things. One has her mouth closed and the other is covering her mouth and staring straight at a noose. http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/16612981066/echo-by-author-name-not-given-picture-1 I find the sizing of the second one a bit...off. I don't really know what happened there. BUT THEN I was searching frantically to find something that would give the first one a little bit of a "wow!" factor and I FOUND THE SPACE EDIT THINGS. Oh my gosh, that is my FAVORITE thing to add in to covers. So I hope it's not too colorful on the first one ^^;; Please don't hesitate to ask me for any changes, redoes, etc. :) If you wanted me to add the author name, but wanted it to private, you can always NaNoMail me as well~!

Hello, hello~! Here is your cover~! I made two, as usual, and I went with the whole sunset idea, because I knew there were some really pretty pictures out there that just needed a smidge of editing. Hopefully you like them~! http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/16614709265/eagles-cry-by-c-angelina-picture-1-stock Click on them for bigger size and higher resolution :) Please don't hesitate to notify me if you want any changes, redoes, etc~! I won't mind~! :D

Haii :3 Alrighty, just to start off: As I mentioned several times before, I don't have the necessary skills to do EXACTLY what the author wants on their cover. I can only do what I find in terms of stock photos. That being said, this was the only picture (only font, only colors that would match, etc...) that would have possibly worked. (And, for some reason, the picture is HUUUGE--but, oh well. Better resolution :D) http://reversep.tumblr.com/post/16616137966/the-victoria-project-by-nadea-bekh-stock Please don't hesitate to tell me if you want any changes, redoes, etc.~!

[/quote] That's...that's AWESOME!! I love the effect you've put on the photo. A couple things: I LOVE the cover font, but can you make the words stand out more? And the author name, is there any way the font could be changed to something for cursive-y? Almost like a signature? Last thing, I hope you don't mind, may I have a copy of the cover picture without the edits? I want to use it for the back cover :D Again, the cover looks AMAZING!!!

Hi! Are you still taking requests? :)

Re: Lia's Cover and Banner Shop~!

RainbowFishie — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:07:48 -0600

Your covers look great! If you're still taking requests, would you mind making me a cover? Title: Beggar's Street Author/Pen name: Diana Chen Genre: Dystopian Subtitle (if any) Summary: It's year 2351, and the world is gradually starting to recover from a food shortage which caused millions to die from starvation. The only food that most people have to eat in Synth, cheap manufactured gunk that is barely edible. Amaryllis lives a relatively normal life in the city-state of Cockaigne, which is located in what used to be the United States. Then, one day, the infamous Mayor comes calling and her world turns upside down. Her parents are arrested for conspiracy and sentenced to death, but Amaryllis and her sister, Kayleigh, escape at the last minute. Shortly afterwards, their plan to leave Cockaigne goes horribly wrong, resulting in Kayleigh's death. Amaryllis finds refuge in a group of street urchins who are secretly rebelling against the Mayor. When she uncovers a plot to murder the street urchins, she must make a difficult decision -- run away and save herself, or warn the street urchins but risk dying? Mood/Theme/Etc. : What's worth dying for Colors: Preferably something plain and drab/dark, with a hint of light colors Ideas/Pictures you want: I was thinking that maybe there could be a empty/desolated looking street, with a street sign that says Beggar's Street

Your covers are amazing! Are you still taking requests? If you are, I would love to have one, please. Title : To Free A Dragon Author/Pen name: S. Cat Sullivan Summary: Kim MacKenzie is a well-respected Armada captain, but she's had to fight hard to get where she is because of the stigma of being half N'Gali. She's captain of the oldest and tiniest starship in the Armada's fleet: the CSS Dragon. Now, she's on her first big assignment as captain: gathering info about enemy activity within the Demilitarized Zone while supposedly surveying primitive planets. Just as she's about to leave, the Vazgori call her bluff and shoot them down over one of the planets. There's no telling how long it will take for a rescue. The planet is inhabited by strange and wondrous creatures: elves, dwarves, centaurs, fauns, Glow-Itsies, and talking animals, to name a few. Kegan Strongstorm, a centaur and prophet, sends a small party out to greet the crew of the Dragon, asking for Kim by her birth name, K'Ma L'Ae. He tells them that certain crewmembers (Kim included) are to join some of their own people on a great quest across the island nation and one of them will be crowned king at the end of the quest. Although she is reluctant to leave her post, something about what the centaur says compels her to go. After discussing it with her officers, she leaves her first officer in charge and leads a motley crew consisting of herself, a Shetu officer, two human officers (Jake and Jasmine), an elf, a dwarf, and a talking wolf. They are aided by Glow-Itsies and other natives as they journey over the mountains, through the Forest of Deception, and across the plains. Along the way, Kim finds a dragon's egg, and she is poisoned by the evil Night-Itsies in the Forest of Deception so that the others can exit without being harmed. She's nearly killed in the process and spends most of the rest of the journey being carried and unable to talk. The egg hatches into a common dragon named Glick who becomes Kim's companion. On the journey, everyone learns about themselves, life, and love. At the end, Jake is crowned king and takes Jasmine as his wife, Kim is miraculously healed, and the crew of the Dragon is rescued. Instead of being stripped of her commission like she expected, Kim is given a slap on the wrist for leaving crew on the planet and is rewarded with medals she'd earned but never received. She's also promised to be captain of the new Dragon, a state-of-the-art ship still being built. Mood/Theme/Etc.: Optimistic, hope at the end of the tunnel type thing Colors: Not sure. Some type of effect with light would be nice, whether it's sunlight or starlight or Itsy-light (think pixies that glow and can change colors). Ideas/Pictures you want: It's a mash-up of sci-fi and fantasy, so something that plays off that theme, maybe?

Forgot to mention that it's book 1 in the Tales of the CSS Dragon series.

Do you do signatures? I can't think of what I want, but its no use asking if you don't make 'em... Just thought I'd check first. I'm a newbie. :)

Keslie Neill-Writer — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:52:21 -0500

Your covers are lovely. Do have room for one more? Title :*Truss Author/Pen name: *Keslie Neill Subtitle: a Rhyme nor Reason Novel Summary: *Once upon a time in a land called Rhyme Nor Reason, three children arrived at an orphanage all on the same night, during what would become known as The Great Storm. Twelve years passed and the orphans grew up completely isolated from the rest of world in the tiny village of Merry Melodies and became the Merry Musketeers. Their self-employed job was to find anything lost. Things drastically when a mysterious magician comes to town and asks the Merry Musketeers to find a flute he lost. What starts out as a routine job ends with the three children being kidnapped by the magician and brought head on into the modern world where an evil queen has taken over and a past better left forgotten is hiding behind every corner. Mood/Theme/Etc. :Fairy tale motifs are a key theme the novel. The three main characters are all my spin on classic fairy tales, namely Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. For mood think first few Harry Potter books. Light with a hint of darkness. Colors:It's a children's novel so keep the colors bright, but with a hint of darker colors. Ideas/Pictures you want: N/A
