I put together a new cover for Muse Interrupted yesterday, which has me chortling as much as I was when writing the story;

 

This is cute, I don’t care what you say it made me giggle. Still does. However for some reason Amazon, though I have changed the cover, isn’t showing the new cover. I need to go see what’s up with that and maybe re-upload it.

Since I had the program open anyways I went ahead and fiddled with a cover concept idea for the still unnamed zombie thing, though the more I think about it the more I lean towards the title “Help never came“

This one: then this one

 

I like the creepy of the first one but not the colors, white bear didn’t fit in that color scheme at all. When I put brown bear in the setting with the house it didn’t look right, i didn’t even try to render it. The white bear stands out more in this. Still fiddling with it while I try to get rid of the plague I seem to have caught. I need more sinister in this I think, though every one seems to think the eyes are still freaky.

What about you, interwebs? Which of the two seem to work better? Or is there another background I ought to try. The teddy and the gun are going to stay… hmmm I do need grass….

What is your agenda for the day?

I like the creep feel of the covers but I agree about the colors. I like the color of the white bear better, but the eyes on the brown stand out. Can you change the background behind the brown one to match the eyes? And fade the color to red near the top?

I like the red blood background of the brown bear but the hole for the mouth is lost due to low contrast. The missing mouth is more noticeable in the second, but I don't like the overall color scheme as much. Guess I don't like green carpet (? or is that grass) and the wall is too busy. Inside of bear is usually white, so maybe a fluffy white hole on the brown bear.... but not sure that will "read" correctly as "missing" mouth. I'm so not an artist.
