YOU! YES YOU!

Hello fans of WattyWarriors! I am shamelessly exploiting my position as an admin of WattyWarriors (We're super corrupt, if you couldn't tell) to run a little contest of my own! I would make a fantastic politician by the way.

So here's the thing: I am sometimes super lazy. And while I like to think I'm a half-decent writer, I also know that I'm usually super bad at making covers 99.99999999999999123499999999455632345436436439999999% of the time. (Which is why it takes me so long to make a decent one (T_T) )

Now, you're probably thinking to yourself : "this guy should stop rambling on about how bad he is, we already know, get to the point". Well okay then, your wish is my command.

What I'd like to do is exploit.... errrr I mean engage WattyWarriors fans (No, I don't want to marry you) in a creative contest! As most of you don't know, I have my own warriors fanfiction series and stuff like that. Well, I'm about to finish up my first three-book series (I know, a three book warriors series, so lazy) and will start my second (and last series, still three books, still lazy) sometime in January.

And so, I would like to see if anyone (ANYONE!?!?) would be interested in making, drawing or otherwise creating a cover for the first book! My covers look nothing like the original books covers (which irks me sometimes), so I'd like to give someone else a shot who has much more talent and the tools to make a really fantastic cover.

Now, I know you all won't do it out of love or for my undying gratitude, so I have some things in mind for anyone who can oblige. Once again using my admin status in corrupt ways, I'll reward the winner of the mini-contest with a special shout-out on this profile, on my own profile (I'll also name you in my profile bio for all eternity), a follow from both, and of course credit both in the summary of the book and the book itself. As well, you can splash your username somewhere on the cover ( as a stamp maybe?), but let's be reasonable and not have it take up half the cover please.

NOW, for the prompt-type stuff. The series is called "Warriors: Return of the Fallen", and the book is "Eclipse". (I have a feeling this name has already been used by the Erin Hunters, and probably some other writers on here, but cut me some slack plz, it has a lot to do with the plot). I don't want to limit your creative freedom, so there's only a few things I'd like to see with it:

* The cat portrait would preferably be one of Stormwing (black tabby tom, green eyes), Mousesqueak (brown she-cat, eye color forgotten, you choose XD) or Maplestreak (tortoise-shell she-cat, amber eyes)

*Not really a prompt, but the various settings that will be visited throughout the book that you might choose to use as the background to the portrait: Twoleg sewer, Abandoned Twolegplace, Flooded camps, War-torn fields, A small ferry boat (Weird right? But will be awesome!) You could also choose to do an Eclipse per the title, but I think it'd be really cool to see some of these other places instead. It won't affect judging though, so no worries!

*The font should be legible and not a really outlandish color (Hypocritical considering my covers have always had problems with words blending into the background color, but I digress)

*This is for my own account, and I'd like my username included somewhere near the bottom (makes it a little more professional in my opinion). Like a normal novel where the author is named on the cover basically.

That's it I think! I'm hoping you guys feel enough pity to help me out with this, and I think some of the covers you guys create will be super cool, so I'm eager to see if someone can help me out. If you have any questions, you can comment here or even PM me on my own profile and I'll answer the best I can.

Also other admins who are probably shaking their head at my corruptness, you guys can give it a shot too!
