Once Bitten Twice Mad: Part One
Not just Papyrus, italicized Papyrus! But maybe the cover for Part Two is better?
In a word, no.
Once Bitten Twice Mad: Part One
Not just Papyrus, italicized Papyrus! But maybe the cover for Part Two is better?
In a word, no.
“America 1887 Times have changed.” Human rabies plague. Sounds worse than 1877 (Indian wars, coalfield wars, railroad strikes, Edison’s phonograph).
Cover elements: blood splatter, guy in cowboy gear, five guys out standing in a field, diesel train. Diesel train in 1887? Was the plague brought to 1887 by a time traveling diesel train? Is it so hard to look up sepia toned photos of 1887 era trains?
And the time traveling diesel train brought people wearing t-shirts.
The airplane-shaped cloud with red puppie-dog eyes and snot-dripping nose totally steals the cover. I can’t wait for P art 3.
I think what was bitten was a ketchup-drenched burger and it squirted all over your covers, but don’t get mad. Just wipe it off.
Lol.
BTW, on part two, Sturgill is right on the man’s crotch, in case you couldn’t see it.
At 25% close to thumbnail size Part 2 reads “by Nicole”. Black letters on red background = illegible.
Why can’t authors/publishers look at the cover full size, then thumbnail, before approving it?
Personally I think it’s better you can’t see it, since it is on the guy’s crotch after all. Not only was the designer too lazy to make another cover, it couldn’t even be bothered to move the byline to a more visible and appropriate position. Assuming the author is the designer, who’d put their own name on someone’s crotch?
Woulda worked better if they’d rotated it 180 instead of just flipping it.
Just curious. Are stock photos with faceless models cheaper than stock photos showing the model’s face?
I haven’t noticed them being more expensive, but it’s very trendy now to obscure faces.
Hey, looky, everybody! I just learned how to use Photoshop’s “mirror image” function!
Pretty cool, eh? I can just make one cover and use it TWICE! 🙂
So… if it’s ‘Once Bitten Twice Mad Part Two,’ does that mean it’s actually twice bitten four times mad?
