Somebody really needs to tell me to GET BACK TO WRITING. I have finished chapter 12 of book 2 but it’s much more fun to create covers. LOL Okay, so I “get it.” Everybody (pretty much) like the Zoomed out version. My daughter said Jenny looked like she was “blind,” so I gave her a different face.
Then, out of the blue, I created this version. I really like how closely the two kids resemble my vision of Micah and Jenny. So, here is a new cover to go up against the “lots of action” cover. So hard to decide. “Lots of action” or the anticipation of action, like they’re just getting ready to have a log-rolling contest.
And guess what! I found a place where I can turn an image into a VIDEO. Can you imagine a fun book trailer with this image turned into a video? Okay, I’ve GOT to get back to work, but since it’s photo Friday, I’ll ask you to vote again, and I’ll also put up some fun images.
Cover One

Cover Two – (new face)

If you want to read the first chapter of book one (sorry, no, they’re not log rolling in book one. These covers are for book two), you can click over, sign up, and then get chapter one. (I’ll do this for book two later on this summer.) I added Gideon to this sign-up image.

And since it’s Photo Friday, here are a few fun illustrations I hope Kregel will use. Enjoy!



And last but not least, this colorized image I created.


Get back to writing, Mrs. M! We want more books!! (Did that work?)
I like the second cover better. They kind of look like they are staring off into nothingness on the first cover, and I like that there’s more action in the second one.

Yeah, I figured that’s the way it will end up going. Lol. But I can use the one I like for marketing, even though I have to agree that action is better.

Does Kregel allow AI art in their covers and illustrations??

Who knows? If they don’t, then I will ask their graphics team to draw or paint something similar. I can send in concepts that I like as ideas.
I love creating images. It’s so much fun.
