(COMPLETED) Cover request

[dj_thecrazycatlady]

Hi, everyone! I’m looking for a cover designer to make me a cover and 2 banners for my wuxia/historical/fantasy novel. I am willing to send inspiration and am willing to give payment. You can choose the payment as long as it doesn’t involve money.

The gist of story summary: This is an Oliver Twist retelling, however, this story takes place in a wuxia world (ancient Chinese, typically, with cultivation and martial arts themes (this story will have xianxia themes as well).

Title: Legends Never Die
Author: Deanna Heller-Erskin
Subtitle: An Oliver Twist Retelling — With a Twist
Genre: Retelling, Fantasy, Wuxia, Historical, Xianxia
Type of cover: Manip
Face claim: Lu Han from Fighter of the Destiny with his hair down and long. IF YOU DO NOT USE FACE CLAIMS, instead, a young handsome Chinese male wearing a black hanfu with long hair. In his hand, a sword, inspo will be provided
Ideas: A traditional historical Chinese town, busy, with the main character standing and holding his sword. Behind him, a mob of people chasing him. Blood on his hanfu and face, please.
Inspo links: Lu Han link, a07133435fd149aabc13189aece8d1cf.jpg (799×1420) (pinimg.com)
Could not find non face claim pixabay or pexel model could not find suitable mob picture as well, so that can be ignored. Background: Ancient Buildings in Chinese Town · Free Stock Photo (pexels.com)

PLZ NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT WORK WITH MODELS, THAT’S OKAY, I HAVE A NON-MODEL FORM TOO
Ideas: A sword with, a bag with gold coins spilling, and a bundle of rope (( all covered in blood please ))

@dj_thecrazycatlady Thought I’d give this a go! Let me know if you’d like to use it and I’ll send you the HD version.

[dj_thecrazycatlady]

This is perfection! I know I already pmed you (I thought the reply went here haha) but this is something I would definitely use as it fits the theme a heck better than what I originally had in mind!

[deathinreverie]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it! <3

Random q: Does the title have anything to do with the song, by any chance?

[dj_thecrazycatlady]

Haha, no. I wanted to do a traditional type title for Chinese fantasy stories, like Legends of the Condor Heroes, Legend of Chusen, etc.

Do you still want me to try this?

[dj_thecrazycatlady]

If you’d like to, you can. But if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

[kacchan]

[dj_thecrazycatlady]

If you want to try, you can. I won’t force you to do something you might not be comfortable with doing.
