Hunger Pangs eBook Cover
Well, over the last few days I've been compiling my stories into eBook and making them look all nice and 'perdy', but I ran into a bit of snag when creating the eBook for Hunger Pangs. The images I used as the cover here on BCTS just wouldn't work for an ebook well at least not and look good. The dimensions were wrong and they were too small. I really didn't want to recreate the images so I got to thinking and did a redesign of the cover using the existing images and combined them with a new image to make this:
Edit: I've made some minor changes.
Edit, take two: I've made a third version as per Piper's suggestions and I think I like this third version better.:
Edit, hopefully the last: Made a fourth version using some of the suggestions from the comments. This version has a paler blue background and a new repeating background. As well as a few other tweaks. I tried using the text "D.A.W." in place of my little symbol, but didn't like how it looked. (sorry Little Katie).
Edit, edit, edit, edit, edit: Fifth version. Made some changes based on some changes several people have suggested. I'm kind of split on the yellow border, on the fifth so it may or may not be in the ebook version.
I'm not really sold on it myself and I was wondering what folks hereabout thought. The actually size will be 612 x 792 pixels, but BCTS does not allow for uploading images that large so I had to shrink it down to 386 x 500.
Anyway on to the other reason for posting the blog...
Ragnarok Rising Update
Well Ragnarok Rising has been coming along slowly, but it is coming along. I have been trying to decide which direction I should take a particular segment of the story. My main concern was making the story too long, but I've decided to go with the original direction because I believe that it is necessary for Brynhilde's character development. At last count the story was at roughly 54600 words and I still have a ways to go.
