Cover art is subjective

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know I love doing cover art.

Canva is a tool. Not my only tool. But one that I use often.

I usually don’t use the template option. I feel like I’m more creative and can come up with something else.

That being said… the above cover was only slightly modified from the template option.

That template inspired me.

Then I wrote the volume, published it, and found out that the image has inspired many people. It has been used for several books.

Sigh.

So I revamped the cover. I gave it my own flair. And I feel like it fits better. I have already updated most of the ebook locations. And I will be doing the same thing for the print and remaining ebook sellers later today. It should have been more like this to start with.

I have really no excuses. Inspiration does not always equate to me thinking things through.

The link is the same.

The only thing that is changing is the cover is getting a little bit better.

I decided that I wanted to go back and retry the tree from yesterday’s drawing. I think that I did better.

Pad day 12

The prompt today did not inspire ( it was to write a future poem)… however I was stuck in a loop dream last night. So I used that. Pad challenge prompts are not a binding contract of you must write about this… they are just ideas that are to inspire the creative process. I post one myself to the Fae Corps Publishing Blog every day in November and in April. I personally use the Writer’s Digest version- see my previous Pad day posts for that link. Or I search Tumblr for poetry prompts. Inspiration is always out there if you are willing to look for it.
