Delete, email and rewrite post
Yesterday I posted about wanting to create new cover images for my Soulstone Chronicle novels. I started with a new image for the Bound in Stone set, but then I re-read the Creative Commons license and had a major confuzzle. Oh, no! BFG attack! Shnozcumber sling shot! Ready! Fire!
Wait! Ok, settling down to normal again...
The thing about creative commons licenses, they're written in the most confusing manner you can imagine. I was concerned about a detail stating I needed to place the CC license in the vicinity of the image, which is impossible on the cover of a book,'cause that's jus' ugly. So I asked permission to place the CC license within the first few pages of the novels.
So I deleted yesterday's post and yesterday's uploads to Photobucket while I waited for the gentlemen who owned the images to get back to me about my use of his original pic to make the face on my new cover. He wrote back just now and gave permission. So all is well. I have a new cover for the Bound set after all.
So here again are the new prospective covers, skinny Kindle version and fat Lulu version:
I still have work to do on the skinny cover (matching size of face to fat cover, basically).
My son is irritated with the faint bits of green in the shaded areas. He's better at working images than I am, so he's offered to get rid of the green tints.
In case you're wondering, this is an image of the Lucifer de Liège statue.
Ha ha ha! My son thinks I'm one sarcastic old poo.
