Hey, y'all. I figured it'd be nice to have a thread to share covers that you've made/commissioned for your projects! This can pertain to LMS, Camp NaNo, regular NaNo, or even just regular stuff not connected to any larger event.

Other than that, I also have my tag on the People tab #bookcoverjamboree where I spotlight some of my (older now) works with the covers I mock up for them. Some of my favorites include:

Keeper of Earth

Beneath the Shallow Water

@GodfreysBouillon I used Adobe Spark. Free and very amateur friendly.

Connection (Current LMS, Current WIP)
Spoiler! :

I weirdly never made a cover for The Fire Underneath of Things? But that was for last round of LMS. I really should make a cover for that. It's my WIP on pause but def coming back to because I really like the story.

Wool of the Prince (First LMS, Completed first draft. Awful book (imo). I have no intention of editing it. I made this cover four years ago haha)
Spoiler! :
Image


I have other covers I made a long time ago when I was on figment. I'm still really proud of a couple of them, although I know if I were to try the same things now they would be vasssstly better. This was when I was first teaching myself how to use photoshop! Most of these covers were for other people.

Also, I'm proud of all the covers I make because I either took the photos myself (what I usually did), drew the picture by hand, or (very rarely) use Creative Commons images so that I have the rights to use it how I want.

All the examples below are pictures I took myself :)

There's a ton more than these but I like these a lot so hey.

I was dabbling in cover art and made this for my old novel (it's not my only current novel anymore I don't know what else to call it ahhh!):
Spoiler! :

And this for my new one (for lms but it's weird to call it new because it's been around almost as long as the other one), but I...don't know if it gives off the right vibes? Hmm.
Spoiler! :

And I use a mix of MediBang and Fotor! Which is a bit different haha but I don't have GIMP so I kinda mix and match. I made a real pretty cutout cover once but uhh, then I changed the title and I realised I didn't save the layers and so it has to be redone but I haven't had the time or motivation to.

also! my name isn't actually Quinn that's a placeholder name and a joke rip
I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people that do.

You and I, we are matter, and it matters.

Aaaaah, all of these are very very very good. Seriously! I'm impressed with all of the stuff that's been posted in this thread.

@scribbleinks - I've never heard of MediBang! *adds that to bookmark resources*
