HELLO! Okay soooo... I'm kind of nervous to be uploading this because there are so many people already in this contest so I feel 1.) bad for adding ANOTHER entry that has to be judged, and 2.) jittery because some of the entries are really really good XP

Okay, so I kiiiind of think I shouldn't say this, but I only read the prologue... sorry XP I was GOING to read all of the story and then pick which scene or important moment I wanted to be interpreted in the cover, BUT after reading the prologue I was like "OMFG THAT'S PERFECT!!" and well.... that was two hours ago and here I am! ;P (but I will read the rest right after I upload this 'cause I really liked it XD)

Now, before I rant any longer, here's my cover! :3 I hope you like it. It only took two hours (one, actually, because the other hour was wasted when my computer froze and I had to shut it down and start all over. But they look the same, so it's not a big deal) so I hope it doesn't look rushed or anything....

I think I'll make another one if I find something more important than this moment, or just become bored and need something to do ;P

I'm glad you chose the prologue to interpret! As far as I know that actually hasn't been done yet. I really like what you've done here, it shows a lot of what the story is about. I can't give a lot of constructive cirticsm but i've given each entrant one point, so you're no different. On the whole this cover is a little dark, and whilst there is evil magic at work in the novel it would be nice if some of the good was represented through colour as well :)
Good luck in the contest and thanks for entering!

Heya Micki xP I'm no good at judging covers, but i think this is really great :D I really love the fonts, they stand out quite well. Also, I was drawn into the blue colors. They seem to give off a great light that is almost mystifying. It almost looks like the orb is a bit blurry, and for a moment the pic looks off-center because the circle is not quite in the middle of the pic, but then I see that is just because of the hand. All in all I think this is really creative and looks great overall. If I saw this at a store, I would pick it up and flip it over to the back to read the description.

So yeah, a shotty review, but there really was nothing to critique. I wish I could edit covers so that I could do contests too lol xD
The bad news is we don't have any control.
The good news is we can't make any mistakes.

Hey! You're a born artist. This cover looks quite unique. I would totally read a novel with a cover page as eye-catching as this one. :)
