Hi! I was wondering if the size of the title/font should be similar to the first book or the size can be smaller in this new installment? I want to keep this in mind when working on the design and composition of the illustration in general.

Kind regards!

Hello. The book is part of a trilogy so title placement should be similar, but style and sizing does not have to match. I think the sub-title and the author should be at the bottom with same font. The spine should look the same. The main title does not need to be the same size or font and should be selected to match well with the new cover artwork. The prior title font and location was focused on a Roman feel plus location of artwork. This title should try to mesh with the Red Dragon character. It could use the same font but not necessary.

Ok, perfect. I'm already working on it. Please, wait for my design proposal. Thanks

Additional information about the character Quintus that may help in the cover design.

Quintus is a Roman Centurion before his transformation into the Wrath of God. The Red Dragon story takes place in the year 2024. Quintus does not dress like a Roman Centurion in 2024 and instead wears modern clothes. He is not a superhero and does not wear a costume. He has developed friendships with a high level operative in the American National Security Agency that gives him access to US military and modern technology.
Quintus has a power source (the wrath of god) that flows into his body from a different universe. This power sustains his body which is outwardly human. Quintus does not use modern weapons. He has a ebony black sword, created for him by a scientist, that he can channel his power into turning it into a white flaming sword (like flaming sword of Archangel Michael). Quintus does not need or carry around a shield, helmet or cape. Quintus is remarkably strong and durable with any wounds healed by the Wrath of God power but leaves behind scars. He has no use for weapons like knives, spears, guns, etc. He is the weapon.
The artwork depicting Quintus should not make him look like a Roman Soldier or an ancient warrior. Quintus has a white cross burned into his chest and back which is the focus of his power source. As part of the design of the first book cover it was important to show this attribute so he was shirtless. It is not important to show this attribute on the second book cover but if he is shirtless, he should have a glowing white cross on his chest/back.

Hi! I have sent a first design, I await your comments. Kind regards. #29507024 #29507026

Hi there, not sure if I’ve missed something here, but do you want the title etc included in the design? Or just the illustration for now? If you do want text, where can we access the title and blurb?

Hi,

Please take a look a design #29520318.

Thanks,

There are two types of book covers. Paperback and e-book. Paperback includes front and back and has description on the back. E-book is just the front.

Must books publish both paperback and e-book.

The book covers I have done in the past, the artist designs the front and back and includes non-sense words on the back as a place holder. Once the winning design is selected, the author supplies the artist with the wording for the back, the ISBN number, and the final sizing (margins are effected by the length of the book which effects the spine width).

The first step is to select the art design. Once done, the winning artist is the only artist that needs to perform the final steps for publishing the book.

Hi,

Please review the design #29525721.

Thanks,
