My name goes in the orange area's lower right sort-of corner in the same font/colour as the title but in a much smaller size.
This uses the background from the second cover, the font from the third cover, and my own (shabby) version of the whatever-it-is in orange from the first cover. Basically, I really, really like the background from the second cover, but the original felt too "soft" without the orange/red. The third cover is my favourite overall; I just like the feather background here better than the birds on that one (thematically; artistically, they're both great).
So, tell me what you like, and I'll figure out what elements work. Sound like a deal?
It makes me think, "Extremely tropical story. They'll be on a beach or something." Perhaps you should use more earthy or neutral colors in the background. But those feathers are pretty cool.

Hmm... All right. What if I made the orange thing more of a brown instead?
DeleteI know; I love these feathers. WIsh I could claim to have drawn them myself.
Brown would probably work. I paint-bucketed brown in place of orange, and it looks better... Can't figure out how to attach the image though.

I like it! It looks very modern, though, and if I recall correctly this is set in Mayan times - so maybe go with the anonymous suggestion and make it more brown? I think a reddish sort of brown would work well with the setting and time period (idk why, I just think reddish-brown when I think Mayans). The feathers are very nice, especially the way they're kind of overlaying each other, and I like how you left a very fitting place for your name - it'd look very nice there.
ReplyDeleteAll right, I'll definitely switch.
DeleteThanks! (For the name bit, since I didn't really do the rest).
