My Cover Art Design: Article 5 Excerpts

Author Kristen Simmons ran a cover design contest for use on her site when she posts excerpts from her book Article 5. I wanted to make my design be complimentary to the original cover art. It turned out pretty good, I think.

My Cover Art Design: Apocalypse

Cynthia Shepp held a cover design contest on Facebook. As usual, I wanted to give it a try. The only thing was, the theme was apocalypse, and I really didn't know if I could make something that represented that well enough. For this particular challenge, I think it turned out OK. What do you think? Personally I know it could be better, but I was at a loss for what else to do to improve it.

Voting opened today and will run until Sunday, November 4, at 10 pm CST. Please consider heading over and placing your vote. I am NOT asking you to vote for mine though. I'm asking you to vote for your favorite! To vote, visit Cynthia Shepp's blog. Thanks!

UPDATE: Voting is now over.

My Cover Art Design: Tiger's Dream

UPDATE (10/1): Just found out that my cover was chosen as the runner-up winner in the cover design contest. So excited about that. :D

Making the Grade hosted a contest to design cover art for Colleen Houck's upcoming final book in the The Tiger Saga, Tiger's Dream. I was so excited, I had to have a go at it. The deadline for entries was yesterday so I figured it would be okay to post mine now. Winners will be announced by Oct.1. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)

Now in case you haven't seen the awesome covers for the first four books in the series, I've included them here:
