So there are these covers I've been making for a book that I may or may not write, and I need help making them look good. The thing is, I can't even pick a freaking style to go with. I can't even decide between model, text, or object based.

Bad, I know.

To stop myself from going even further on my graphic spree (I'm starting to enter the "why does everything I make turn into garbage" mindset) ((I mean they are garbage but whatever)) I'm going to post what I've got here and then just make the prompt the next Pavonine contest or something because I'm out of it.

Hopefully, I'll have the style I want figured out by Saturday (when I post the contest).

^^^^^Original. Did a bad job with the eyes. And everything. Maybe too many overlays? Or it's just the eyes.

^^^^^ Same thing only without the eyes? Still doesn't look too good though. That's what I get for just messing around, I guess. :P

^^^^I tried engraving thing? Didn't work well in most parts, but it's a start I guess? Ah who am I kidding? It failed. XD

^^^^^ Woosh. I just made everything gold on a simple background. Not exactly what I was going for but out of all of these it probably looks the best...

^^^^^ This looks more booky I guess? Leathery? I don't really know what I was going for here either.

Yep. These are my horrors. I'm posting a contest for a better version this week (like I said, once I get a better idea). Unless someone who's actually good wants to talk to me about what to do. I'm up for anything.

...I should go actually write this story now. Bye guys.
