[QUOTE=angusbeef123]those of you who have read this children's book know it has some fucking creepy drawings in it. They used to scare the shit out of me when I was little.

old cover:

new cover:
[img]http://buy.overstock.com/images/products/muze/books/0064401707.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]

I loved those books so much. They would scare me too much though. I always read before going to sleep. At like 11pm when everyone else was asleep, all thelights out except my little booklight, everything so quiet. I love that feeling when you almost feel like you're in the book, you forget what room or what time of day it is in reality - it's fun. Then I would look up (if I didn't fall asleep reading) and be scared to death. I'll never move as fast as I did one night when I started reading before it got dark and finished around 12:30am.....I ran so fast to close the blinds of my bedroom if anyone saw me they probably thought I was crazy.

In the second one you made I thought that guy was dead at first, but once I looked closer I think he just got done masturbating.

Yes I made it myself.
I made the basic illustration little over two years ago with some CG program (I don't remember the name of it but it was a demo that only worked for 30 days),you could use it to make all kinds of virtual landscapes, like so [IMG]http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/v36/filthylittlestoner/lolly/cg2.jpg[/IMG]

For the book cover I used the sky outta this one [IMG]http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/v36/filthylittlestoner/lolly/cg.jpg[/IMG] , then I copied it and pasted the two parts together, and wrote the words on it.
And seeing as how it's a picture of a cloud filled sky you can see just about anything in it.

Sorry about the shitty text but I'm from the UK and the only books I've ever seen IRL are UK trade paperback versions and the covers are all pretty boring with plain text.

[QUOTE=Dennis]Angus,

These covers are really great. Not only am I going to include all of them in our next Art Update on the site, but I'll also throw them in our new Haunted section (coming soon). I think I may even show them to Chuck in our next correspondence. Hell, maybe it will inspire Doubleday to come up with a better cover than Diary this time around. This book has potential to have a sick cover.[/QUOTE]

What do you mean, Diary had a great cover! They went all out! It was almost as if they said: "Hey, this guy's books already sell, let's spend the money on a shite author!"

But they wouldn't do that. They're professionals.

You guys really made some good pictures. I wish I could match you, but since I'm not really an expert in Photoshop...anyway, here are my works. They're not very good (a bit cheesy), I know, but I'll make more, and I hope I'll get better at this. If anyone has any suggestions how to make these better, please say it... or don't.
