Fake book covers 12

And the last one, I'm still not satisfied with the flame letters... I know I'm missing something in all of those tutorials I read online, but I can't figure out what.



Heart of Obsidian is out!!! Go buy it right now!!! It's too good to miss!!

It was a nice coincidence that the rope texture somewhat resembles wolf fur... I wish I had found a better resolution pic...

That's blood on the snow there...


Fake book covers 09

I found it funny that "someone" threw the red rose flower arrangement off the precipice... yes, this didn't happen in the book, call it fanfiction.

Fake book covers 08

The justice font... is supposed to be the red string of destiny, XD, sorry.


Fake book covers 07

Ok, I went mad with the font layer options around this time, I admit it, but the metal effect is just so cool...


Fake book covers 06

I had fun doing this one since it was my first time having a crack at furry letters.


Fake book covers 05

I don't know why but I associate Ashaya with the color teal, hence the letters...


Fake book covers 04

I totally forgot to change the color of the jeep (because yellow is so conspicuous), oh well.


Fake book covers 03

Book #3, oh Judd...


Fake book covers 02

Here's book # 2, I kinda like this one the best of all I've made up until now...


Fake book covers 01

You know when you're reading a book... and the model(s) on the cover is not really what you imagined the character to be? Or, say the main character has certain physical characteristics that are not depicted as they should have? and it all just puts you off?
Well, there are various ways to circumvent this, but the most fun for noob photoshop users like myself is to make a cover of your own.
My friend Suri and I are super fans of Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series... and one day we were talking about models we thought would represent the characters best, but it's so difficult to agree on one! I had decided to have a go at making alternate book covers for the books, but alas! I ended up liking the covers that didn't have model faces that I decided to post them, what do you think?
The obvious main reason: if it's anything else but people depicted, then you're free to imagine the characters as you wish.
Here's the first book: Slave to Sensation!

Kiss of Snow

So I finished reading Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh and Summer's Crossing by Julie Kagawa.

First, a few words for the Iron Fey: loved Puck, as I knew I would, but really... I'm kinda getting tired of the love triangle, I hope it won't continue on "The Iron Knight". Other than that the novella was sweet. And I always forget to mention Leananshide, she's all kinds of awesome darlings! Even if she treats us humans like crap, but hey, she wouldn't be Fey otherwise.

Now for Kiss of Snow:
Right-o! Sienna and Hawke got their HEA. The surprise for me came with Walker and Lara though, get got 2 wolves popping psy cherries instead of one! LOL. I loved their story.
Meanwhile, as I kept reading, when Judd was telling Hawke of some of the torture Ming put nine-year-old Sienna through... I know it was wrong of me, but I laughed when he said:
"What better way to teach a child control than to put her in a room designed to blow up with her inside if she got something wrong."
LOL.
Speaking of Judd, so he knew who the Ghost is, told Hawke, and even the Ghost himself knows Judd knows... who the heck is he??!!?! I still think it's Kaleb, since he wants control of everything, and the Ghost seems to want that too, but there's no confirmation, argh!!
Anyway, dear niece suri, you were right, Judd kicked ass! when the Rats where commenting the battle, and what Judd was doing, damn! He's awesome ♥♥♥

But there's so many questions still in the air with the whole story, the future, it's frustrating!
And so we learn at the end that Hawke's last name is Snow, cute. I see what you did there, Ms. Singh. LOL.
