a couple more covers
Aug. 23rd, 2014 10:09 pmAgain, completely different. What would be perfect from my point of view and what I can find stock images of are two entirely different critters. Like I said in a comment on the previous post, what I want is a nighttime scene of a dirt road with the rear end of a pickup truck disappearing around a bend in the distance, pine trees crowding either side of the road and only visible because of headlights shining on it from the camera's point of view. But fat chance of finding that in a stock photo [wry g].
The water in this one actually does portray a scene in the book, come to think of it:

And, no, since the whole image is all of a piece (except for the clock superimposition), I cannot remove the clock from the guy's body. That's more graphics skills than I possess.
And here's the other one. Not hilly enough, but works otherwise. Sorta.

The fuzzy part where the edge of the front image (wrapped around the spine) meets the solid gray back was deliberately made fuzzy by me because of POD technology, which has a 1/8" margin for error when it comes to having the edges of images match up precisely with the folds. The fuzziness masks that.
So, do either of these covers yell "woo-woo adventure story" at you?
