I Seriously Just Spent 20 Minutes Just Staring At This In Awe. WOW!

Myth + SCIENCE = yesssssssss!

aw!

Hipsterrific ebook covers for fics I’ll be downloading, because #xmentales said I should share them. Theme: black, white, and red. Free to use, no attribution needed.

Sources (don’t delete the text below, please):

Beloved of ravens: Bird outline from Clker.com.

Boden’s Mate: Bishop chesspiece from Clker.com.

Charlotte Francine Xavier (WIP): Knotted rope and ring from The Free Dictionary. I just really like the imagery of the rope as Charlotte’s telepathy, with the metal ring representing Erik.

The Waste Land: Woodcut from Olaus Magnus’ History of the Northern Peoples.

The Winter of Banked Fires: Compass from Wikipedia.

Your soul is a chosen country: Based on Leyendecker’s Arrow Collar ad. Also an ever-so-tiny amusement for myself.

Vin Diesel has unveiled the first Fast Six teaser poster on his Facebook page.

New Riddick Poster.

OMG, this kills me....so insightful & subtle & cool!

I lie — I totally had a rush of inspiration today for more fic ebook covers. The first set can be found here. I reposted the two covers I did earlier, as I changed one of them.

Don’t delete the text below please, as it contains attribution.

Sources:

The changeling; or, Charles Xavier (a Novel by a Lady): Images taken from Clker and subsequently modified. Some of you saw an earlier version I posted on Twitter — I’m much more pleased with this one.

A Conspiracy of Ravens. The X-Men Phoenix symbol was nabbed off this forum thread and then modified, while the crown is from Clker.

Nine Eleven Ten. Feather from Clker.

Queen’s Gambit. I decided to keep the cover of Boden’s Mate so as to preserve continuity. I did change the chesspiece to a queen, from the same set on Clker as that of the bishop.

The Waking of the Red King. The coin is a black and white copy of the Czech Prague New Town gold coin, featuring Charles IV.

the western shore: I made a cover for the first story in the series, so why not the sequel? :D Again, I used images from Clker. The axe may not be accurate for the time period and/or culture. I’ve since changed this slightly.

These covers are free to use — no need to attribute me.

You ain't been had, 'til you been had by the Chief.

I was in India. Maybe this year. :)

Story update: the Broken Saga

Chapters will come more frequently now that I am back home from the road. This chapter was also particularly horrible. I think it's all there in the title. Warning: this is not the pleasant part of the hero's journey. 

The Broken Saga

Cappadocia in Turkey...is my best guess.
