M is for... Michael Offutt Says I'm Behind

Apparently, everyone else in the world is up to P now in the epic A to Z blogging challenge.

I tallied the votes from my previous post... then I discarded them all Andrew's note that number 1 comes the closest to feeling like an appropriate cover for his novel, Shadow Spinner.

So, I'm going to play with that as a concept and see how that goes.

    It makes me sad, because I really like the last one (9?), but I think this idea works better for the cover.

    Andrew - I actually agree with you, but I'm struggling with the composition of the image... I need something in the foreground to be really, really close to the 'camera' and I don't know what to put there... it's just a framing device, but I wanted something to be there. I'll just play around some more.

    That's a purdy sky. Just do what Pagel does and do like 3 letters at the same time to catch up.

    Move Tib to the left and make him closer to the "camera," putting the tunnel more in front of him. I think with a more straight on view, you can make the scene more active when you add in the combatants.

    This cover makes me want to know what's inside. Exactly what a cover is supposed to do.

    You could always post two letters tomorrow and call it watch your P's & Q's

    Glad I found your blog. I may commission you for a cover at some point! Of the previous images, I dig the one you've kept the most.

    Being behind is an essential part of the process.

    LOL well you were/are behind. Like Tyrion Lannister says, "It's not slander if what you say is true!"
