《Resources ▹ Tutorials, Tips & Help》10 MINUTE SPEED COVER CHALLENGE
Advertisement
It's safe to say I failed.
[A gif or video was added here in a newer version of Wattpad. Update now to see.]
This is what I ended up with as the finished product:
Uber simple, but I only ended up going about 2-3 minutes extra after Bandicam cut me off. You can see a few times in the video where I messed up, that happens a lot when I'm making covers & most tend to take 30 minutes to an hour (I'm that indecisive). I used shadow instead of stroke, by the way, because of her hair— shadow looks way better (although I can see now I accidentally left it slightly blurred, oopsie).
If you would like me to do a tutorial on anything specific or do another one of these speed challenges (after I practice a little & settle on an idea, of course), please let me know in the comments! Any suggestions other than videos for future chapters are also welcome :-)

Evil Genius: Ascendance
Carter Cain lives in a world of superheroes but he's not happy. That's because the most famous superhero in St. Newton is Captain Maximum who accidentally killed Carter's parents as a child. Raised by abusive foster parents and spending more time in jail than outside only made him more bitter, and he dreams of revenge against the world. Instead, he's stuck scrubbing toilets as a janitor for a laboratory. When a freak accident gives Carter super-intelligence and psychic powers, he could become a superhero and fight for justice. Instead, he's going to become a supervillain. His goals are killing Captain Maximum and taking over the city, in that order, and he's not going to stop until he does. Get ready to see the birth of a genius supervillain from the ground up.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
