《Universe Online》[Vol. 1] Cover Art Competition!!!
Advertisement
[Starting Post - 2/11/15]
Okay guys, I've finally decided to put this out here.
With the official end of volume 1, there remains only one last important detail.... THE COVER ART~!
The cover art is something important for a book. Its often the first thing that catches a persons attention. The explosions and guns on modern adventure novels. The clashing of swords and shields by knights on horseback for the medieval period. Great mages and wizards calling down storms of fire or ice or Dragons in pure fantasy...
These things catch the eyes and also reveal somethin about the story they represent as well. VR tends to be a harder thing to do a cover for, especially a sci-fi VR like Universe Online. It is both a near-future sci-fi and a distant-future hard science fiction web novel. That means the cover has to be able to cover both, which may well be impossible.
So here's the deal. I need a cover both here on RRL... and I've decided that I'm going to bundle up the volume for sell on Amazon. I may end up choosing two different pieces for these two things, or the same one for both.
The winner can request a commission of me to use the art work for sale. I'm more than willing to hash out details for that, or simply buy it straight up (Up to a certain amount. I don't have a whole lot of money, sadly). Or you could damn well let me pay you $50.00 for winning, for those not too worried about it!
So, if anyone is interested, send me a PM here on the forum and let me know! Feel free to include links to drafts or whatnot. I don't mind if the work is digital or hand-drawn. You are free to use any subject matter or reference from the Universe Online story, and may request additional detail or clarification from me if needed.

Game Changer - Day Dreams
The greatest foe that man shall face lies within himself: his own mind. It can contort the world around him and make friends seem like enemies. Most often times we cannot see these delusions for what they are, the daydreams and the nightmares; and worst of all the crushing despair that cloys all we do and makes it seem for naught. One such soul in the depths of his own despair met an untimely end, but with his dying breath he made a plea, a plea to live. And so it was a being, neither human nor god or anything inbetween chose to save a life out of pity. But it did not understand the consequences of its actions, the changes a single life could bring. Like a pebble dropped into an ocean, first a ripple, then a wave, and soon all the lands of the world would be drowned before its might... So begins a new life, in a new world. While those who once knew him call it a game he calls it home. Now the question will arise, how far will he go to defend it.
