《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.

Cannon Fodder Cheat System
At first, when he learned that he was forced to go to many different routine worlds and be reborn into all kinds of cannon fodder, he was against it.Because villains usually all only have a moment of satisfaction, the endings of cannon fodder are also frequently quite miserable.But the man who gave him the system told him that this system not only has all types of powerful functions, but he can also break the routine lives of the cannon fodder. If he achieves this satisfactorily for each world, he can even become a god.He's already experienced over a thousand reincarnations, but hasn't yet been a god. Since it sounds pretty great, why not just try it out.From that moment on, he began the irreversible path of tyrannically oppressing people, while conveniently tearing open those white moonlights and so-called righteous people's hypocritical masks.His goal: wearing the villain's role to walk other people's righteous paths, leaving them no path to follow.--------------------------------------------------[Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN THIS NOVEL, this is for offline reading purposes only.
