While I’m waiting on my lovely daughter to do some editing, I thought I’d get a jump on creating the cover art. I wasn’t going to but I was struck by an image from the story that would be perfect for it if I could pull it off.
One trip to Goodwill later, I had assembled a pretty good costume for my daughter (who very graciously agreed to be the model in the shot. Then a trip to the paper to borrow the white background (I didn’t touch a thing Indy photogs, I promise!) and Shannon posed in various positions and patiently let me manipulate her until I had a good array of shots to choose from. Then, it was time for some mad Photoshop skillz until I ended up with these two pictures:

Cover Art image #2:
I think they look pretty good considering. They’re a bit on the photoshoppy side, but it’s ok. I’m partial to the second one myself and Shannon likes the first one better. I’m going to let them percolate for a few days and who knows, I may attempt another one.
Either way though, I’m getting so excited about all of this
