VERY rough Starcrossed Cover

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2003-11-04 02:01am

I was fooling around with Paintshop over the weekend and I came up with my first work of "art". A possible cover for Starcrossed. Feel free to tear it apart, I am immune to criticism since I know it sucks.

Well, at least you're honest with yourself.

Pretty good composition, though. I can picture it as an actual image fairly easily.

I love the red lightsabre!

Stravo, give it to Shep. Or maybe Einy, us newbs shouldn't be messing around with stuff like this.

Ideally I would have liked to have gotten rid of Han and added some starhips and stardestroyers but I would probably do a ship only cover.

*cough* *hack* *choke*

Damnit man, are you trying to kill me?!

That's hilarious! (in a good way, no offense intended)

Strav, this is what you called a piece of crap? I like it. My only complaint is the blurriness of Mitchell's picture, and I guess that can't be helped. I love the Darth Nemesis part of it. Bravo.

Maybe you could run a competition or something, just for shits and giggles, design-a-starcrossed-cover...

That's not a bad idea at all....

Thanks but no thanks. I'm an MSPaint G0d who specializes in starships and weapons, not a Photosh0p G0d who does book covers.

Shep might help you tho

Nemesis is just SO fucking cool! Really!

Just to point out, i'm pretty sure that Nemisis is the Dark Empire Luke with the lightsabre made exrta red.

Well... got bored sooo....

See Stravo your not the only one with bad photoshop skills.

But seriously nice cover for a rough draft Stravo. Now get back to writing more yummy fanfics! *cracks whip*

VERY nice Wild Karrde but your missing the co star of the series, what's Starcrossed without James Kirk?? (Maybe we will find out soon....whoops!!! )

Wild Karrde · Post by **Wild Karrde** » 2003-11-04 06:51pm

Look again Stravo.

I stand corrected

Both good. But Nemesis needs to be darker, standing in the shadows. The Emperor needs to be represented with a more evil pic.

What the hell, I'll take a shot

Middle bottom would be :"A Story by </br>Stravo" or however you want to call yourself for the story

Excellent image Phil Skayhan. Can you post a larger version so we could see the details ?

Very, very nice. Only one question; have you thought of moving the
Emperor from the bottom right (where he is in a bright cloud), to the top
left, where it is dark? Just to stop his dark cloack contrasting too much
with the background?

I don't know, that part just doesn't look 'right'.

Having said that, very, very nice image man! One great pic.

Yeah, too much symmetry in that last one.
