Are you a fan of the sword Oni-Goroshi? -- 01/10/24: wow, a Blackloak-inspired essay!

So there's an interesting trend on the social medias for self-pubbed authors to create these little ads for their books in which they print the tropes/main events/key features around the cover of the book and point little squiggly lines from those words to the cover of the book.

I decided to give it a shot.



I was kind of goofing around but the end result actually seems a fairly good representation of the book, so I guess I'll keep it. :)

I hope the write-up is okay. LMK if not.

Damn E, cheers for that. Even with the Kindle version on ridiculous clearance prices, you bought the physical version! That's awesome.

The next one should be out in a week or two. Physically. The digital...dunno. Depends on my cover artist. He's kinda struggling a bit with the brief.

I have an aversion to buying anything digital when a physical copy exists. Same with subscriptions vs. outright purchasing. Probably a pretty grey-beard thing to do at this point.

I appreciate it either way.

I see the benefits of both. A book you can dog-ear, and I do so love Dog-Ears, but a digital book I can read *anywhere*. Currently it's my salvation at the gym, but also in bed at 3am if the partner is asleep, or in a doctor's waiting room. On the train. All that. We always have a phone on us (or as much as possible), and I am just Gen X enough to be astounded at the idea of carrying a fucking library in my pocket, ready to be read whenever I have a moment. No bookmark, no weight. Words is words, in any format.

Also I can adjust the font size because let's be honest, none of us have eyes that get *better* over the years.

That all said, I do format carefully for paperback and go to great pains to make my little self-made book look like a 'normal' book.

Spot on. Thanks for the highlight!

This was actualy a short but intense challenge because I very rarely try lineart and when I try the lines weight are not so good. I admire anyone doing lineart really.

You REALLY need to get on Cara and update your folio. You are super-talented and your DeviantArt only shows a fairly dated facet of your skills. Get your PoE fanart up there, at the very least.

Agree. Hes got talent.
Apparently so do I, because I just published my second book.
