Title: Your favourite cover
Post by: JRTomlin on February 15, 2020, 02:43:36 PM: There is another thread talking about how much we pay for covers. I just wondered which is your favourite of all your own covers? Although I like most of my covers, I think this is my favourite (and no, I am not saying how much it cost).

Post by: MaxDaemon on February 15, 2020, 04:14:42 PM: I like how this one (book 3) came out in the end. I have to admit though, that I'm rethinking it from "science fiction" to "cozy", so there's that and it will change the fonts and etc.

This is the first book with a new concept that I might adopt for book 2 and 3, if I decide to go "cozy".

Either way, I like how they came out. Not to say they can't be improved, of course.

It's a tie between Mars and Venus.

There's always contention between Mars and Venus, it seems.

Post by: notthatamanda on February 15, 2020, 11:42:37 PM: I'd pick Hero in the Darkness, probably because SciFi isn't something I read and there is a guy on the cover. I think I prefer people on the covers.

Edit - sorry, for some reason I only saw Tim's post and I thought he was asking which of those covers was our favorite. Tim, you can delete this if you want.

That's why I went to Titan.

I've actually been thinking about going to Titan myself. I've been mulling over a possible Saturn trilogy.

Mine aren't very elaborate, but I like this one.

Post by: DrewMcGunn on February 24, 2020, 05:06:42 AM: I can't make up my mind between these two. I like the first one with the motif of the alamo in the background with the layering of the Marines marching in the foreground. It's hard to get an affordable cover that actually conceptualizes a key scene in the story. And I thought my cover artist nailed it on this one.

The second was taken from a public domain picture from 1851 by Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot. The cover artist touched up the uniforms and creatively added a Texas flag to the cover.
