Judge the books by its cover

[adrienclifton]

I love your guess! Pretty close in some ways, and you did touch on some of the "Feel" of it!!
The details are way off, but several of them are surprisingly right.

There's some magic, but not as much as you guessed!

Alli is a failing youtuber (you got the failure element! hell yeah) who summons "The Onion Man," which is supposed to be made up like Bloody Mary (the "eye sprite" lol)
He grants you one wish before he kills you... And it turns out Alli doesn't actually get much of a say in this deal. His name is Ramson the Bargainer, and he's the main antagonist.
Alli becomes the messiah to a cult. There's hijinks!

Later on there's some self discovery elements but I can't elaborate yet! I guess thats a pretty common thing though, its practically mandatory for character development!!

Zillah's Lullaby | Tapas

[AVXP]

Zillah's Lullaby:
Pity those that have heard the sweet voice of Zillah. Behind the sultry voice- full of angst and pain - is the ultimate assassin. Dagiel writes a savage song where music is murder and every verse is voiced with visceral violence. Zillah was once a singer with a promising future. Evil! That dream was destroyed and all that survived was the desire for revenge. Pray that you never hear that murderous melody! A bloody good tune in black, white and red.

[TheYaoiEmpire]

That sounds awesome but no, Zillah's Lullaby is a Vampire Omegaverse spin on the King Arthur Legend, with a twist. there is lots of singing though! and that is still kinda fitting

Here is the cover of my comic Rocky the rock

I don't really have an official "cover" as of yet, but here's what I use for SmackJeeves.

Link to it here

[TheYaoiEmpire]

A gypsy milkmaid gets lost in a graveyard only to discover she's a witch when she meets a skeleton that can talk.

[jarzebiny]

Lmao, nice Not quite the plot, but I'll take it!

[Zaboem]

Yeah, I also noticed that @AVXP was very close with his guesses for Ali Ascending.

[Zaboem]

There is an unusual amount of empty space at the top. Is that a spot for inserting the title text later, or is Jarzebiny also the title?

My Guess: In the exciting world of professional finger painting, Jarze is a rising star. She travels to a dark forest at night to urgently gather natural dyes for a competition in the morning. A stalker known as the Facepainter follows her into the woods. Getting out alive and escaping will take all of fingerpainting skill.

Real Guess: This is a webcomic (you tipped us off with your mention of Smackjeeves). It's drawn in a stylized almost cubism way like the Henry the Bear kids books. The part about the dark forrest is accurate because the story is going form a dark fairy tale Grimm's sort of vibe. The heroine, a gypsy girl, is dripping blood, symbolic of the guilt that drove her into the wilderness. The dark figure behind her is a helpful spirit she meets in the woods who guides her on a journey of redemption. Jarzebiny is the name of the setting.

My Guess: A rock band climbs to fame and falls from glory in an epic fable of sex, drugs, and hairspray. The ninja in the back is clealry playing drums. The David Lee Roth look-a-like plays air guitar in an avante guarde twist. The girl is actually a crossdressing lead vocalist who wants to take the band in a more grundge direction creatively. The rabbit plays an accordian and is constantly stoned.

"Seems 100% real no fake totally legit fitting completely the tone of the story."

The ninja in the back is clealry playing drums.

i always wondered why so many rock bands didn`t have a ninja playing the drums.

The David Lee Roth look-a-like plays air guitar in an avante guarde twist.

He is more a "forced to play the bass" kind of guy.

The girl is actually a crossdressing lead vocalist who wants to take the band in a more grundge direction creatively.

There is this running gag with a conspiracy theorist/blogger who always uploads a random theory online about the singer`s gender. Mostly caused by the surprisingly wide vocal range while they sing. But the singer just embraces it and makes a "gender reveal" in every recital. My favourite was the "revelation" that she was a man in the body of a woman in the body of a man in the body of a woman in the body of a man in the body of a woman.

The rabbit plays an accordian and is constantly stoned.

to be fair, the rabbit is naked almost all the time and most people don`t understands his words.

[adrienclifton]

Oh! I know this one. It's a parody of shonen-genre manga, starring an ACTUAL ROCK as the heroic protagonist! huehuehue

[DiegoPalacios]

That was extremely accurate!.

Whoa. This is EXACTLY what it's about. Uncanny.

Thank you for making the forum topic. Here's my entry. There's a hidden meaning that I would like to explain, if anyone will try to judge my entry by the cover.

Is this a novel about a girl that copes with the loss of her family after a war?
