Incompatible eBook Cover
So I enjoyed creating the cover for Hunger Pangs so much that I decided to create one for Incompatible as well.
I had no clue as to what I wanted to do so I went on a hunt for ideas. In the process I came across this image. I knew immediately I'd found what I was looking for and because the image has fallen into the public domain I can reuse it however I may like. So I opened the image in photoshop and began the long process of tracing over it and after hours of hours of work I came up with this:
EDIT: I made versions for Transfigured and the unfinished Destiny.

The font and text design may very well change, but I'm rather satisfied with the overall image.
I would also like to reiterate that I am NOT creating these ebooks for profit and simply so that folks may read them in whatever format they like and for my own demented purposes. ^_^

Looks compatible to me
When I first saw the thread my thought was "what can an eBook cover be incompatible with?" I'm glad to find at least in this case the answer is 'nothing'
Those would make striking hardcopy book covers, the only issue I can foresee is thumbnails smaller than the pics above might be confusing.

haha
lol... I had to chuckle when I read your comment.
Thank you... I've made new more colorful versions that will hopefully fix any issues with smaller sized thumbnails.

Very Nice
I too, had a small hiccup with the Incompatible tag. But these covers are very nicely done.
A very good font choice as well.
Of course, the Blank covers can be used for all sorts. :D
But yes, Very well done.
thanks
Thanks...
I will likely only use the 'blank' cover image with stories set within my Spellbinder Universe due to the Norse theme of the image.

Mono Mono
Mono mono, to mangle Mork. I Know I'm a ditz but, on my computer at least, there is no colour, all the images are black and white. Am I missing something here? k-jo

I again say....I like 'em
and I guess I lucked out. I saw the title and who posted it, and made ther connection immediately. Guess that means they left an impression?
Thanks.
Thanks. :D I guess it did! ;]

Slim Shade
Sorry DAW, but is this like one of them optician's tests, I mean, I'm real good with colour n I've got stockings in every shade of black going, like if all blacks were identical, how would you see if your seams are straight? So, on my screen I can see the three images are not all the same black, but they are all black - aren't they? k-jo

Well...
It could possibly be your monitor, but I can clearly see that one is purple, one is brown, and the other well I can actually see someone thinking it's black but it's actually a dark blue.
Have delightfully devious day,

I was lying down minding my own business when life came by and drove right over me
