This is the new cover for my novel, which I recently commissioned from an artist friend of mine. The image shows the titular Mallory Dane tapping into his Blue Phoenix powers for the first time after being seemingly killed by the evil Dr. Endergast:

Your cover looks absolutely amazing. Your novel sounds awesome as well.

My cover is of the two main characters. Maelstrom on the left and Flynn on the right.
This is supposed to be like a first date for the two of them and things are awkward between the two of them. Maelstrom wants to get closer, but Flynn if very apprehensive about that so its supposed to look like he's glaring a little bit. Also, Maelstrom is a more open person so his body is a bit more spread out to show that he is comfortable and relaxed in this situation. Flynn on the other hand is a closed off person so he keeps most himself close to his body and less spread out.

This is going to be bit of a spoiler for later parts of my novel. So both the dragon and the person in this picture are Felix. I've got him a cave to show a little bit isolation. The human Felix is looking away from from dragon Felix. This is to show Felix's inability to make a choice. He doesn't know if he is ready to embrace what he's been given. The dragon Felix looks out ahead with wings wide open and almost wrapped around human Felix. This was meant to represent how Felix feels trapped by himself.

Not original art or anything, but the image can be broken down. There's the all important fire that the characters sit and talk around. The background is supposed to be the wrecked world in the wake of the apocalypse (which is described as leaving everything in a smog)

Well in this cover it is Katrina's second time experiencing her disease aka lycanthropy. She has now gotten her beast under control, and she is ready to go kick some butt!

The biggest part of my cover is the contrasting elements: light and darkness, adventure and the unknown.

This is the cover of one of my novels and it's about vampires who want to find their place in the new world but old enemies continue to find them.

Runaway Rad is chilling at Dead Drop, a ghost town exhibit in Southern Alberta. He's coyly covering his own wanted poster (which he's scribbled all over) with a gunmetal-forged shovel.

This is the cover for Vigilante, with the titular character being a smug idiot while getting his mugshot taken even though he's all beat up, lol.

My main, Eda, is falling to another wolrd after accidentally exploding her work.

I am not an artist nor I have artist friends so I used illustrator to make a simple cover.

Here's my cover:

Main character Nick Stabranth standing in front of the titular Stargazer spaceship.

That's a nice cover. Looks great.

Thanks! Yours too. Looks like a nice sci-fi movie poster.

Ugly cover desperately needs revision:

It is to portray main characters disintegrating self and identity. Half circle of debris represented the earthquake which kick-starts the story, and another of hair means letting go of connection to the past (in many cultures, it is common to cut someone's hair after mourning or something bad happened). The flowers and vegetations in color of flesh is the violent nature of death and living.
