The General's Angel Art Cover

Here I present the art cover I made for my fanfic The General’s Angel: A Crisis Core Story ❤️

I did this back in December, and finished in January for editing, and in all of honesty, I really adored how this turned out with Sephiroth and Rose holding hands (which was the hardest part to draw lol) <3

Yes, the fanfic is pretty much going to be late to get started on. However, I would clarify that Rose would be 17-18 during this fanfic, even when my 19th birthday is coming up. Also, I am pretty nervous about playing Crisis Core Reunion, and wondered how I am going to do in the game. THAT part I am afraid of, along with the Crisis Core story in Ever Crisis. Well, I will do my best to see how the gaming goes ^^;. I hope to enjoy it ^^

I am also hoping to get my story going during playing the game and learning the story well (I hope), and OH! The background in this cover is the portion of my fanbase setting Corrinia in the fields or plateau, as I would like to call it lol. I found this art cover to be a romantic one with these two ❤️

Well, I hope y'all like the fanfic art cover ;3 Wish me luck on Crisis Core Reunion: >

✨ Ghouls and Gangs!!!✨

I'm so glad to be posting my pieces for Ghosts, Legacies, and CPS, by @aceface98 and @karnia-queen. It's such a wonderful fic and it's been (and still is) a blast working on these drawings!!

The initial idea was to have a title card-like cover art, but then I lost track of that and went for a book cover! I did go back to make it more title-cardy after though, so you have two versions!

Thank you to the mods of @dpxdcbigbang for organizing this event!

HEYYYY!!

Chapter 15 of LoF is finally out!! sitting at 29,824 words!

I also want to share my first cover art for LoF:

I had a lot of inspo for this cover!! I wanted it to have influence of a classic Spider-Man and Batman cover while also still being my art style. imagine my surprise to learn that Spider-Man has a cover similar to Dick Grayson...

Soooo yeah!! spent 9 hours on this cover and i'm glad to finally have it out. i hope to do more as the story progresses

The cover art I drew for my fanfic Stranded Lullaby on ao3, from the series I Still Feel Alive. Leo gets stuck in the Prison Dimension a little longer than in canon, with the unexpected company of Future Leonardo.

Also first real post woop woop

Any time I see any gaalee, I sorta think like; Gaara cripples Rock Lee then they reconcile after the Kimimaro fight and they're supposed to just move on, but:

"How does Gaara handle this kind of thing? How does Rock Lee handle this?"

How do you go about this kinda traumatic incident? Gaara feels horribly guilty now that he's healing and learning. Rock Lee persevering through his injuries and accepting Gaara into his life. They're both learning and adapting to make the most of their lives. Every now and then, Gaara's guilt presents itself as a panic attack, and Rock Lee handles this by soothing him. Considering that Rock Lee is the one who actually went through this trauma, I wonder how he handles it.

I'm sure in this au there is ✨️ninja therapy✨️

Seems like I’m on a creative spree and can’t stop making book covers for dbd fics so here’s another one! I really like the outcome of this one, and yes, I’m already discussing with artists and authors for sharing a third one 🤭

Using @pawspaintsnthings / @ouchmyghostskin ‘s art for @safaiagem ‘s fic ✨

Again, NOT for selling distribution.

art credits + some cover commentary under the cut :)

I had a lot of fun finding/using artworks with circles, lines, and shapes to symbolize different worlds/universes and/or the passage of time...

Artworks used, in order:

"Several Circles" by Wassily Kandinsky (1926)

"To all appearances, it was a hand of flesh and blood just like my own" by Odilon Redon (1896) — A ghostly hand that fits the plot. The artwork's title goes with the fic so well too...

"(#2) (from series, Quantum)" by Garo Antreasian (1966)

"The story of the sun, moon, and stars (1898)" by Agnes Giberne — inspired by the summary "Somewhere along the way, Draco realizes he's been thinking in lines, when he should have been thinking in circles." The original artwork comes with a caption 'Stars whose distances are well-known'... I really feel that it fits since Draco was named after a constellation... Also, the star-circles have numbers on them, which could be interpreted as H/D through different ages...

Max Brückner’s Collection of Polyhedral Models (1900) — Exploring different parallel universe versions of yourself... the more things change, the more they stay the same.

"Construction (SM lg71)" by László Moholy-Nagy (1924) — some mild spoilers for the fic! inspired by the phrases "...plot a path through the many universes such that he would never die." / "flickering through timelines? Just getting glimpses, really" .

"Fish Magic" by Paul Klee (1925)

"The Terrace at Saint-Germain, Spring" by Alfred Sisley (1875)

"Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare" by Claude Monet (1877)

"Charing Cross Bridge: Fog on the Thames" by Claude Monet (1903) — referenced in the fic. i try to pay attention!

"Boy with Kite" by Candido Portinari (1947) — Harry is a precious little lamb. more elaboration here

i’ve been making penguin classics-style covers for fics i have saved on my kindle, as inspired by zeziliazink and bubu0h’s works!

Trust me I know what the formless mother is thinking. It revealed to me in a dream. The outer god has reached me. Anyways the lands of shadow’s formless mother franchise is not looking good. (Sorry bloodfiend. why do you have a weapon that is just called… fork?)

I used to draw FM as in Miquella’s egg with a arm, but now had to change to a bloody flesh of armless meat. Don’t know if this is a downgrade or not but girl your range of appearance is WIDE.

“Ghost?” Soap asks as he pulls open the door, knife still in hand, baby still wailing. “What are ye doin’ here?”

“What am I doing here?” Ghost throws back at him, brows creased and eyes downright murderous, the kind of look that back at base would mean Soap is about to run laps until he pukes. “You just disappeared for a bloody week, Johnny! Didn’t even tell Price where you were going, aren’t answering your fuckin’ phone, what the hell do you think I’m doing here?”

“Right,” Soap says because yes right, he has a vague memory of Ghost texting him, but he also doesn't really have a clue where his phone is right now and he definitely wasn’t aware it’s been a week until he just mentioned it. For a moment Ghost looks like he’s going to take him by the shoulders and shake, and then his eyes land on Joey, and he frowns harder as if he only just noticed that Soap is holding a screaming child.

“You knock someone up, Johnny?” he asks and it sounds oddly offended but mostly like he’s taking the piss, so Soap is about to tell him to fuck off when there’s a loud crash from the bathroom, followed immediately by a high shriek. He whips around, trips over one of Cass’ tiny toddler-sized shoes, and nearly impales himself on the damn knife if it wasn’t for Ghost grabbing him by the arm to hold him steady.

“Give me the baby,” Ghost says like he says give me that gun when they’re hunched over in the dirt, bullets flying past their heads, so Soap does.

to you i can admit (that i'm too soft for all of it)

9: ShadowSilver's Story Art Cover

Here is a new art cover, simply remade for my upcoming (still ongoing) fanfic 9: ShadowSilver's Story ^^.

This was remade because the other I did probably did not turn out so well, and plus, the theme of the cover probably isn't epic enough when it comes to having an adventure fanfic. The roses, the mix of pencil and markers were fine, and may fit into other fanfics, but this one seems epic enough with a light of ShadowSilver's power ^^.

Keep your eyes peeled for the fanfic coming soon! And may write a new bio for her ^^;.

Some requests were for modern AU so I played dress up with Erik in some modern outfits 😊

Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.

Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.

And they could see him in return.

I FOUND A THING

So I love making book covers for fanfic I read, largely so that my shelves on Calibre have some variation to them just at a glance. One of my favorite ways to implement specific art for a fic is by using it in a cover modeled after the Penguin Paperback Classics. However, I never wanted to have the "Penguin Classics" label and the Penguin logo, because...well, because it's not Penguin.

But I still want that look, so what I've done with mine is replace "Penguin Classics" with "Archive Classics" (as in Archive of Our Own), and replaced the Penguin logo with the AO3 logo (which you can download as a PNG or SVG on Wikimedia). All variants that use the Penguin orange somewhere in the design I've replaced with the color on the AO3 logo (HEX #990000, for anyone curious). I've spent many hours manually sizing fonts and graphics and such, comparing one thing to another and having varying amounts of satisfaction with my results from project to project. I'm anal like that, and if it's a millimeter off from where it needs to be, I notice it and it's always the first thing I see later, so I try to get it as exact as possible.

But now, in another one of my link-hopping search journeys, I found the exact dimensions needed! And I'm so excited I have to share it with anyone who might see this, so if you already know about it, hush—this isn't for you.

On Jim Stoddart's website (the art director at Penguin Books), there's a section that shows the design specifications for a bunch of styles that are used with their publishing. The one I want to draw your attention to is the Penguin Classics (the 2019 template redesign).

Not only is there the specifications for all three sides of the design, but also for alternative titling layouts for both the cover and the spine. There's even a basic grid layout without all the example text/graphics, so it's easy to build off of.

I've included the images mentioned below the cut, but if you're interested in more of this kind of thing, you should also check out the pages for the Penguin Modern Classics, Little Black Classics, Penguin 'AL' Paperbacks, Lines, and the Archive. I'm obsessed and amazed I haven't found these before.

Also, if anyone is interested in my version of the template, here's the PNG version of it, which you can place over the top of your chosen art/picture, before adding the title and author on top of that. For the measurements to be accurate, the dimensions of your final cover should come out to be 1524 × 2339 px, so adjust accordingly.

I hope this is of use to someone else too, and if not, I hope y'all can appreciate my excitement for this!
