New Cover!


I hope everyone's having a nice weekend. It's been beautiful today, so I made sure to get out for some social distancing-approved fresh air. I've also been working on the next Syndicate chapter. This one was originally written during a NaNoWriMo sprint and hoo boy, does it show. A lot of repeated words and weak adjectives. There's also been some story changes along the way, so I made sure to account for those as well. Hopefully, that will be posted tonight! 

I post this story on a couple other sites (none of them nearly as fun as this one), and so I also worked on my book cover a bit this weekend. I use Canva, which has an entire suite of book cover templates and royalty-free images.

Anyway, here's the old cover. This was done entirely in Canva, and I've never been completely satisfied with it:

And the new one! It's a little more dramatic and closer to what I've been envisioning. I drew the mask on Procreate using an image as a reference. I'm very, very new to digital drawing, but pretty tickled as to how that came out. Shading in particular is something that I can manage when I have a reference, but cannot get right on my own. I want to take some online classes so I can work on composing my own drawings.

Take care and stay safe, everyone!

I enjoyed your shared thought processes and explanations. Likewise, I’m enjoying the Syndicate and look forward to seeing how you craft this universe of mutants.

Both those covers are awesome, though. The first one looks really classic sci-fi, while the second is more comic book in nature, which I guess if what you're going for. Good job!
