I don't know what to make for this cover, so I'm letting you all draw it :3

Also yes I'm trying to complete the prizes for the DTIYS, motivation isn't working with me-

The book:
Experimental AU (but the rewrite :D)

RULES:
- Obviously no NSFW or 18+ stuff, though it's not an 18+ book so I see no reason to do it either way.
- I'd like you to stick to the two characters I'll give refs for below, but if you only do one do Blaza since he's the protagonist (more info below)
- Try not to put many references to the original book, as the rewrite is going to be different in many ways.
- If you have your own watermark, you can use it. I'm perfectly fine with that because I do it too-
- Don't make fun of people, but ya'll are very nice so I assume there's no worries there :)

If you've read the original book, you know what it's about, but if you haven't here's a spoiler-free explanation:

Blaza is an experiment that escaped government captivity ten years ago. He leads a normal human life until someone else shows up, someone named Laff. Blaza knows him because he's the son of Eli, the person that always tortured and tested him at his testing facility. And now he's back to PTSD :3

If that helps at all

Prizes:

1st place: Cover used, shoutout, cookie
2nd place: Shoutout, cookie
Participation: cookie :)

References:

Subject B-1424, Serial number 001. AKA, Blaza. He's the main protagonist.
The tentacles and claws are only out when his eyes are uncovered. The sunglasses enable him to hide them.
They also only rip his hoodie, the black shirt remains undamaged (science technology :3) (note the black shirt is what he wears under the hoodie)
The bandage on his hand is an old burn scar from wrapping his hand around a taser. He almost never changes the bandages, so it tends to be dirty.

Eli, the main antagonist. Laff's dad as well. He loves testing on Blaza and the experiments, and tortures them to his heart's desire with no regard for their feelings and emotions. He started the Experimental Initiative, or the E.I., as a way to bring more power to the US military, so to him the experiments are just weapons to play around with.
He carries the taser gun everywhere under his coat

Deadline: August 7 and any extensions needed

Quick note, I won't be posting this story until I complete it (and I've rewritten through chapter like two or three for perspective) but wanted to get this out there so when I do I'm prepared :)

Have fuuun :3
