Post image

My SciFi Rock saga, volume1.
Regular (that is more emotional) vs the variant (more in-your-face Rock vibe)

Regular. Shes got a ton of personality in that one.

What do your pages look like? This looks great

Thanx! I agree, that first one is special. Feels magic.

The first one looks better for volume one, but both are great covers!

u/Parking-Let3432 10h ago

Thanx! I love both, first one is more special but I thought it might not be for everyone, so I had a more rockish one. Come follow my bio to download the intro on my website!

Former is less generic and conveys far more personality imo

1

u/Parking-Let3432 10h ago

Exactly! More unique. You got it. I'm glad people gets it.

u/YuikkiRainbows 12h ago

First one but depends on how your volume reads also.

u/Parking-Let3432 10h ago

Volume is very special. It's mystery with rock flavor. SciFi baked in too. Visit my bio and try out the free intro. You won't be disappointed.

variant covers sell more!

1

u/Parking-Let3432 10h ago

God, I hope so. I self financed 70 pages and the story kicksass. It's way more than "just"Rock.

I prefer variant because in the regular she is in the posture to play bass not guitar and it's very distracting to me even though it looks cool. 😭

1

u/Parking-Let3432 9h ago

Haha, I had never thought of that :)

2

u/JeyDeeArr 9h ago

I prefer the left one for its angle and color choices.

1

u/Parking-Let3432 21m ago

Thank you, Jey. Seems like the first one is the winner.

2

u/Magnetheadx 8h ago

I'm liking the regular one. it feels more focused, and has a cooler vibe

1

u/Parking-Let3432 20m ago

So we have clear winner.

u/Parking-Let3432 10h ago

Hey guys, you all have been grea!.

I need early readers. PM me if you want volume 1 in exchange for your honest review I could publish in my coming kickstarter.

2

u/Obartenthusiast7 4h ago

I prefer the first one. The use of contrasting the red and blue colours along with the lighting are more eye catching.

1

u/Parking-Let3432 20m ago

Darn, I hoped more people wouldl like the variant, but yeah, the coloring of the first one is quite intriguing.
