hey, no worries! I just wanted to make sure that you knew I wouldn’t mind you saying, if you had indeed decided against it :joy:

you’re gonna hate me… :joy: I really like the vector one, except the silhouette isn’t quite right :face_with_peeking_eye: yet considering how long it took you to find something acceptable…I wonder if perhaps it might be a lost cause :sweat_smile: I’ll think about it and let you know! I feel really bad making you waste your time with this when you could perhaps help other people :face_holding_back_tears:

everything else is super cool tho, the background and the colours and the lights :pinched_fingers:

Ah no, it’s perfectly fine! I did choose to tackle this project after all, it’s my job to make sure you get the cover you want :slight_smile:

The silhouette would actually be easier to change than the other elements :eyes: I did have other pictures that could serve as a replacement; you can let me know if any of these might work!







I can edit the posture and colors and some other stuff so you wouldn’t have to worry about that too much, just need to know if these would serve a good “base” for the silhouette.

Also, I just noticed that you haven’t completed the preliminary payment :sweat_smile: you did the first two chapters but forgot to leave 2+ comments on Chapter III.

I think the black dress in all the greenery might be closest to what I need…the skirt needs to be a little flatter at the back, bit wider at the bottom, and shoulders a bit bigger.

But I think I might have found something that could help…these are 1893-1894 fashion plates from the Met Museum website and it says they’re in the public domain. Maybe you can use one of these?

https://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/search/searchterm/1893-1894/field/title/mode/all/page/1

These are a few that I really like:

If these work for you, the Met has an entire collection online organised by year: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/libraries-and-research-centers/watson-digital-collections/costume-institute-collections/costume-institute-fashion-plates

I should be able to finish chapter III today or tomorrow :smiling_face:

Oh, definitely! I wish I thought of this resource sooner :woman_facepalming:

Monday is my designated tea bar + laptop day so I should finish the changes by then :saluting_face:

Awesome, thanks! :grin:

And thank you again for your patience :heart:

Honestly, same :joy::joy::joy: this is like…the motherload of historical fashion research! It’s always quite the challenge to describe their clothes lol. I’m glad it came to mind!

Thanks a lot for everything :heart:

I am also wondering if, for the next one, it might be easier to manip a fashion plate figure? I don’t know how this whole process works lol, I really like how the vector one came out, I just want it to be as simple as possible for you, too.

If the fashion plates work, I’ll pick out some for 1895 & 1896 for the next two.

I think they’ll work! You can totally pick some out for the next two ^-^

All right, no problem! I’ll deep dive into it this week. I’m actually so excited, this is an amazing resource :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I scrolled through the 1893-4 ones

and I found this one which almost pretty much matches the perspective you already have:

(And how amazing is that suit?!)

And these 2 have the parasols and the hats, which are very cute. If she’s out walking, she does need a hat :face_with_hand_over_mouth: Second one looks like a bold young lady!

Okay I will shut up now, I’m supposed to be working :rofl::rofl: Thank you!!

LE: I’ve also added new inspo pics directly to the other 2 requests :slight_smile:

Resized for Inkitt

⭐︎ ✧ coded by stella_vigo ✧ ⭐︎

Finally done! Open the image in a new tab to download the best quality :smiley:

I’ll get started on the next ones! So I’m assuming we’ll be going forward with the vector style? :eyes:

Oh…she’s beautiful :face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears: Thank you so much, I love it!!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yes, vector style or whatever comes easiest to you to make it as similar to this one as possible. I think for the second one that first plate I shared will be perfect, I won’t nitpick about the fur lol :see_no_evil:

Also, can I share it on Instagram? Do you have a profile I could tag? I made a new one for historical fiction/fashion stuff and I’d like to make a post with the cover and the fashion plate :face_holding_back_tears:

oh, just one thing, because I noticed just now that Inkitt cuts it off a little, and that’s too bad because it’s so good…their cover editor says min resolution 500 x 800px, and max 8000 x 8000px. should it be resized a little bit to display better?

Thanks, I’m glad you like it! :grin:

Sure thing! I don’t have an Instagram account but you can just direct them to my Wattpad profile (:

Oof, I guess I could resize it, but tbh I don’t see much of an issue with the Inkitt cutoff since the text is still there :see_no_evil: I can do it but it might take a little longer, especially since I’ll be busy with something else today.

By the way, payment for the third cover will be to read and leave 2+ comments each on the next three chapters of Blood Will Tell (so chapters IV, V, and VI). I hope that sounds fair :joy:

Oh, okay, it’s not a major issue since it only cuts a little bit off of the streetlight on the left side, but it’s just so pretty it deserves to be displayed in its full glory :face_holding_back_tears: But it’s really no big deal if it’s not a quick fix! We can just take the sizing into account for the next ones.

Sure thing :grin: I’ll get to it within the week I think.

Hi there! I know you are currently closed for catchup but I have a quick question! I saw that you made The Spying Cat for Inkitt, would you be able to make graphics (probably just the cover) for Honeyfeed?

I don’t know what Honeyfeed is, so you’ll have to post a request when I open shop later for me to decide :sweat_smile:

EDIT: I just Googled and found out it’s a story sharing site, I thought it was the title of one of your stories :woman_facepalming: but as long as it’s not monetized I can make a cover for that! Just give me the dimensions for the cover and make sure to credit me somewhere :slight_smile:

Haha, no worries!

It’s not monetized but it will be entering a contest to become monetized (should it win) but by that time, I will (hopefully) already requested a commercial digital art cover.

And of course, just lemme know when you re-open, please! <3

Hello~ in case you haven’t started out on this one already, I found a couple more references that I think might work better :thinking:

I love the colours and the pose in this one, it'sa little bit more different/special, these fashion plate ladies all get posed the same lol

And I absolutely love this dress lol, I would wear it today, love the irises in the corner, and the pose with the hat + parasol (ie, she's out on the town). But I would prefer kind of a red colour theme, because you know...murder

Sorry if I’m being annoying at this point :joy::joy:
I promise I will complete payment before Monday :saluting_face:
