Kornsuccubus Book Cover Picture Contest.

[ExcruciationX]

I originally wanted a book cover, but the two people I asked didn't respond. So, if anyone cares, I'd like the following details on the cover (make sure you've read the text, spoilers contained within).


1. An endless desert with the Citadel in the background, with the city below in the foreground.

2. Make the Citadel like in the text (big, lots of windows, and a door in the front, brownish color).

3. Make sure the camera is up in the sky, looking at the Citadel, so that it shows it's face and the buildings below.

4. I'd also like Zuka Zam'ee standing at the entrance of the Citadel looking up at it. The buildings below should be a quarter inch if the Citadel is five inches.

I'll pick the best one and package it with the next release of "The Land of Kornsuccubus" (I need to fix a lot of errors and expand upon it a lot).

whats a Citadel?

[Johnny Rash]

You'd have to read the story.

It's a large dome shaped building with many windows.

[ExcruciationX]

Did I say it was dome shaped? It's not in my mind's eye. It's rectangler shaped, with lots of windows on it, and it's a brown color.

[Johnny Rash]

It wasn't domed?

Was I drunk when I read it?

Sorry man, my apologies.

[ExcruciationX]

It's alright.

In fact, I'd recommend reading it under influence, it makes it more interesting (although one of my friends tried it, and he flipped out on certain scenes).

[Johnny Rash]

Did you just recommend people to become inebriated?

[ExcruciationX]

Yup, I'm pro-drug (although I haven't used anything, except for DXM at very low doses, because I don't think I'm ready to take something full blown).

[Johnny Rash]

You're serious?

I'm a reformed pot head.
I'll never use a (illegal) drug that's created in a lab.

[ExcruciationX]

I stress that I don't endorse use of other drugs becides LSD and Marijuana, and some medical ones. I haven't studied some of the other psychedelic drugs, so I don't know their effects.

[Buddy4point0]

i do pot.
thats it.

i would possibly do shrooms if i had the opportunity

but as for heroin, lsd, all that shit.
def will never

[ExcruciationX]

Back on topic.

Is anybody up for the challenge of trying to create the book cover (especially since I'm not the best at explaining)?

[Johnny Rash]

Here's mine.

hey Ex, its kinda funny that you asked for a book cover, ive been working on another of my art projects for school the past week and now that its finished and i take a look at it, it KINDA fits your description. not exactly though, but i think it looks okay. couple of photoshop brushes mixed with some renders and a drawing made by me.

here ya go.

[V3N0M]

lol. thanks man. we all have our talents. :thumbup:

[Johnny Rash]

Mine is WAY better!

[sourced]

yeah right :rofl:

[ExcruciationX]

...

I think I may have found my artist. That is one kickass work of art!!!

[dejkirkby]

sourced, that is real quality.
That's your cover, right there!

[cal360]

That's amazing Sourced that's excelent. I never knew you had such talent and none of my artworks would ever compete that.

[ExcruciationX]

That doesn't fit the description though...

Sourced, how long did that take to make?

thanks man :p

three weeks.

if you want, i could re-design it a little bit to maybe fit your description. although, gimme a little bit of time, cause im too busy with my midterms :( stupid midterms. :mad:

edit: i know that the drawing looks really complicated, but its actually quite simple. if you look to the right portion of the picture(the towers and citadels), thats the only "real" part of the picture because thats the only one i manually drew. oh, and the arches connecting the cliffs in front of the "city"

all the other elements in the picture are renders or brushes from photoshop which i played around with to blend in with the overall picture.

also, if you noticed, theres still a slight hint of green on the trees, i've yet to fix that :p

[ExcruciationX]

I must say, it's great!

Hopefully I don't sound too commanding...

The Citadel in my story isn't progressively built on a mountain. It's a rectangler shaped buildng at the very back of a tiny town (in comparison). All of this is in the middle of a desert (with absolutely nothing around it). The picture itself should have the camera suspended in the sky looking down at the Citadel, showing the town at it's feet. It should be in the day time, with maybe a few moons in the sky and one yellow sun.

Can you this in three weeks? If so, you'd be right on time with me, because I'm adding on to the story. :)

[sourced]

ill try man. im kinda busy with my midterms so yeah. gimme time :p

[ExcruciationX]

Okay, will do. :)

I've got to add stuff on the story anyway.
