Okay. I seriously need to stop doing this. What is this? The third cover in two days?! I'm going insane... are there any doctors on YWS? Because I think I need to be diagnosed by someone. Gimp Obsessive Disorder. Yes. G.O.D. Because only God can fix my problem, and apparently, he don't want to!

Well anyway, this is the same cover as before, I just added a side and a back.

You know, when I get bored, I really should review and/or write. Why, brain? Why oh why must you lead me to destruction?!

Hehehe I should have added a bar code XD

I'm impressed. Most covers on YWS (and even on indie books; heck, paperbacks, too) are not professional whatsoever. Yours on the other hand, isn't that bad at all. Of course, there is no way it'd be able to be used exactly how it is on your book because...

-You don't know the thickness of your book.
-No last name of author.
-No copyright year.
-I'm guessing you don't own (and haven't licensed) the fonts or images that appear in the site. If you make money off of other people's work, you can be sued. There's some great movies out there on copyright if you are curious. I would start out watching the free "RiP! A Remix Manifesto". Very good documentary on what you need to know about copyright. (All writers and artists should watch it, in my opinion).

However, ignoring all those factors, this cover is actually BETTER than many I've seen on shelves. Good job. Keep photoshopping!

Well I dont know anything about copyrights and stuff like romance up there^ but I do know that I really like this cover. I know your're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but whenever I pick up a book with a boring cover, I admit, it takes a really good description to get me to read it. But I could definatly see myself taking this off the shelf at the libary and checking it out without much hesitation. Great work :)
So listen closely, and don't stop working. No one can tell you who you are. (BVB)

Very pretty! You seriously do a good job with covers. I don't have any complaints, maybe a few questions though.

I don't see how the picture has anything to do with the novel x) I mean, it is SO much more than... legs. Your story has fantasy and stuff in it, and this cover looks like it's meant for a typical teen fiction novel.

Did you take the pic of legs yourself? Or was it taken from somewhere else offline? along with the fonts and crown, which are beautiful by the way.

How in the world did you get Gimp to do this? It looks like you used some sort of professional program to get the layout right XD You amaze me!

The ONLY thing I would do differently is remove the A Novel from her leg. It is smack dab in the center of the pic and really distracts from the title, the image, and I just don't like it xP
The bad news is we don't have any control.

Hi there!
I love your cover! But it reminds me of a lot of Sarah Dessen's books. The plot is very original though. I really love your cover! I love the fonts you used, the cover picture, and the color palette. It's very pretty, and shows exactly what your book is about! Aweosme job and keep it up!
