Art Request: Default covers

When someone's literary work hits the spotlight on the front page and it doesn't have cover art, a default is chosen for the work instead. At the moment, there's 8 possibilities, but I'd like to increase that to 20 for more variety.

If you're interested in creating some, it just needs to follow these guidelines:
- Needs to be 800 pixels tall by 600 pixels wide
- White text with a black outline should be legible on the cover

At the moment, none of the default images have actual cover art on them, but that doesn't need to be the case. If you come up with actual artwork, it should not infringe on any copyrights*. It should also either be general enough that it could apply to any work, or at least to a specific genre.


* YWS has a license to use any artwork from https://vladstudio.com, so the copyright infringement rule doesn't apply there. If you're interested, check those out!

Hey @Lucrezia, these look great! Due to the need to be generic and that the cover titles are generated without regard to exact placement, I'd like to use the following with some changes:

Option 1 - Just need to remove the hourglass
Option 2 - Place the sword in the center
Option 15 - Just need to remove the crown
Options 22, 23, 27 - No changes
Option 29 - Need to remove rose

Thanks for taking the time to put those together!

Perhaps a bit generic, but:

Uhh I know it’s kinda dumb but I had an idea for a scribble one. I hope the image isn’t too blurry, the file was a bit big so I had to compress it

Thanks @Lucrezia, those look great! I've added all of the new ones, and the new covers should begin showing up :D

Also thanks to @Shady and @GengarIsBestBoy!

@Nate I've pulled a few more of these together, let me know if any need tweaking?
(Some of these came from the site you linked and it's such a wonderful resource!)
