How do you take such a cool image and create such a boring cover? Even a simple village or mountain scene for the background would have made it pop.

I feel like the image was stolen from a video game or something. I might be wrong, but it looks vaguely familiar.

Has a World of Warcraft look to it.

It does, but it’s legit purchasable art on Shutterstock and a couple other sites. It’s a shame that it was tanked with godawful font choices and NO background image whatsoever.

Different versions appear on Shutterstock as “Orc Prince”.

It took me 5 minutes to do this. Come on!

Also, how does a 160-page clunky first draft get 48 reviews with a 4-star average? Do readers really prefer short, hard to read books?

That’s really cool.

With no background, it looks like that white shape in the bottom-right corner under the byline is cutting out or hiding something. Took me a while to realize it’s just the space past the orc’s crotch.
