(SUBMISSIONS CLOSED) HOLDING THE VERY FIRST ROYAL ROAD COVER ART TOURNAMEEEEENT!
#1
Um... was that title enticing enough to make you click on this thread?
Did it work? Cool!
Alright, listen up this is my way of giving back to this community by shedding light on some stories by their art!
Imagine this as some sort of fantasy league. We'll start off simple, and if this thread (and subsequent threads) get enough traction then maybe we can evolve this into an actual tournament, but for now, this is the test run.
For this round, I am submitting this cover for battle. From: Let's Play: Chronicles of Zurefgar
Submit your favorite cover for battle!

Nice cover!
Here is a cover-teaser for a story I'm releasing soon. It's simple but I like it.
The story is a penguin isekai, where the MC has to hide his intelligence

Ooh! Ooh! I have a character with an outstretched hand, too!


Posting it here mostly to find out what exactly is meant by the word "battle".

Nice idea.
When it is about a tournament, then what's the terms and condition and prize?
LOL, if it's just for fun, then. it's great too. feels like an urge for me to make a new cover art...

This is the cover for the next volume of First Flame called Unbecoming. I normally wouldn't show this under normal circumstances, but I might as well since it will start running soon.
This features an enemy that has so far only been hinted with only a few fights so I'm pretty hyped.
(my editing skills with adding text is non-existent so that's lack-luster but the art was done by my normal art guy)

As machines fight gods and we find ourselves under new skies, the earth crumbles beneath the stars as our reality cries.

I'll share two, one is for a story I hope to post one day (Before the heat death of the universe preferably):
And the second is a story I'm reading:

I'll try with this one. Unlike others which required people with actual skills, this one was created without any artistic talent whatsoever, just the online editor and Artbreeder.

The ones for my personal fiction are in my signature. However, there is a cover I made for a fellow Royal Road author that I really love and want to show you. Here it is:
