I wonder if there is a Stained Glass FONT to put the Title on with

OR I can leave you a one coloured window in the texture to put a title/author in it, if you want?

Interesting font, not sure though I would use them with this 'stained glass' texture. Grabbing now - I'm sure I find another use for it!

Some new covers, for you

This time I integrated some pictures I took in holidays. Don't know if anyone is interested in something like this, I'm especially proud of the sand castle cover though... and the stairs when I think about it.

Let me know what you think. Replies, questions and wishes are always welcome.

Again, all covers are my own creation!

Hey Mini, your stairs are

Now all we need someone to write a story that begs for that cover

Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy came to mind, with Countess Gertrude ascending the stairs, skirts a'billowing

Thank you very much

And, well, with fanfiction there would be some Merlin, Harry Potter or even Sherlock stories that could go with these covers...sorry, lately only reading that

@BetterRed: You are reading interesting stuff! Never heard of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy before your post. Well, always something new to learn...

for your replies! They are very welcome!!!!

Mini

And for all who are new to this thread or loosing the overview, look for links to all covers, textures, tutorials, zips for the Generate Cover Plugin etc. in the first post!

MiniMouse,
This is an example of using your covers.

Very nice cover. Any special program used to design this?

Hey crutledge

Love that you love my covers

Yes, I'm finally back people! After a lot of renovation-work at my home (that took forever!!!) I finally found the time to get back here and start on a new cover. Crutledge motivated me

I'm not sure what to make, what you would like to have, what kind of ornaments, design, with or without book-edge... so you have to tell me. You can post me links to any covers or covers of mine you especially like and show me what you want to see more of.
(@crutledge: I tried to look up your covers but you are posting so much that I had trouble to really find out. So you have to tell me more to come up with stuff for you.)

So, what is new: I bought me a grafic-tablet and tried to draw an ornament myself (keep in mind that it is my first try... just saying). I'm not that good at drawing but not THAT bad either. You can see the result down below.

This cover is totally created by myself! If you want in detail what I did, just ask as many questions as you like, I will try to answer them.

As you can see it is only one cover in different colour and I also tried a more used look. What do you think?

Mini

For all who lost the overview in this thread, go to the first post to find links to all covers, examples, tutorials and drawings.

Nice to see you back MiniMouse. I missed you!

It feels good to be back! Renovation-work sucks big time when you have to live in that chaos too.

Hope you can use what I came up with but if not, feel free to tell me what you are looking for.

I usually just get whatever you and/or the others of this thread produce. I don't have a creative bone in my body, so I appreciate your work.
