Artist's Comments

this upload sucks but im uploading it for the sake of uploading SOMETHING :/ my inspiration level has been extremely low, so ive barely been active with comments or anything, either. i have just been struggling with drawing and i feel like my skills are all dying -_-

anyways, this is just a concept cover for the novel edition of "SnowSong: A Story of God" because the NaNoWriMo page allows for cover art uploads of whatever my story is. I dont like this cover very much xP but oh well, i guess...

sorry for suckage. i really do hate my art right now -_- at least my writing seems okay. "SnowSong" is actually pretty cool and my sucky cover doesnt do the story any justice whatsoever. im hoping for a late 2010 publishing date... 2011 at the very latest, and id like for a novel version and an illustrated novel version ((if my art can get back up to what its supposed to be)).

"SnowSong: A Story of God" is a philosophical adventure/fantasy story about a canine named Noon and his journey through a fantastic land to discover the definition of "God". Noon's journey is divided up into short stories, each focusing on ways of thinking about God and discoveries of thought Noon makes while observing nature and the thoughts and actions of others. the stories are full of a wide range of creatures, characters and beings, including my most recognizable character, the nature god BLY ((on the top of the cover page here)).

would you pick up a novel at a store with a cover/title like this?

wow i love the concept ^w^ the nature god BLY is really neat and creative , the eyes just pop out right at ya,also the dark colors set a mood of journey but in that journey there isnt just good things that shall happen a sense of insecureness perhaps or a lonely journey?The canine at the bottom has a nice feel to him i love his natural markings and goggles ;3 it gives a sense of a past to him and asks questions like " where he get the goggles from" "why does he look almost lost" and " why is he on this journey to find god" was it perhaps he was scepital about the god and it's reality ? its really amazing how this one picture can do this ;3 i love it .
one thing though being my own opinion:

to be honest i probarly wouldnt of picked up somthing with the title "snowsong-the story of god" because of the whole "god " part me being pagan and all i believe in both mother nature and god as one , but after reading the prologue of your story it's sounds different than the other god story's i've seen or heard about so it's very intresting to me and i hope to se more of it ^w^

okay so now back to the good stuff ;3 none of my nonsense about god ff!XD

i love how the text is in center it focuses on it and makes it stand out expcially cause its on a dark background.

The sketchy colors and outlines is fantastic i dont know why but ive always loved that style it's very artistic and gets a mood down :3 mabye possibly though make it a little brighter ? the letters glowing or somthing *w* again thats just me XD i love glowy and possibly a fade to the picture on the bottom ^w^ it would it seem more dream like but again it's a concept and it doesnt really matter :3

now for art blockness

your art block shall die down ;D just keep doodling stuff and it shall disapear,mabye try drawing somthing you have never drawn before and even if you dont like the outcome you know you had fun doing it, or do what i do XD get a box paints and waste them on a canvas by just painting whatever your hand takes you then look at it and see if you can see a shape then define that shape ^w^ thats how i created my mad creation the "ceezy crow" XD

long comment is long

but i really look forward to seeing your art , your in inspiration to me and i bet you are to others as well.


oh i almost forgot to say that cover really portrays a mysterious feel to it drawing the viewer in wanting more *w* it makes me all tingley XD haha also my spelling and grammer is terrible D: i hope you dont mind.Also i hope you dont me being a critic 030 i kinda over done it XD

I would seriously by that just because the cover looks interesting o.o

SUH-WEEEEEET D:

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! :excited:
:iconnerri:
The cover would definitely make me pick up the book. I especially like the hands reaching out to BLY. However, I think I'd be a little put off by the word "god" in the title. I don't think that the subtitle is needed at all.
