《Universe Online》[Vol. 1] Cover Art Competition!!!
Advertisement
[Starting Post - 2/11/15]
Okay guys, I've finally decided to put this out here.
With the official end of volume 1, there remains only one last important detail.... THE COVER ART~!
The cover art is something important for a book. Its often the first thing that catches a persons attention. The explosions and guns on modern adventure novels. The clashing of swords and shields by knights on horseback for the medieval period. Great mages and wizards calling down storms of fire or ice or Dragons in pure fantasy...
These things catch the eyes and also reveal somethin about the story they represent as well. VR tends to be a harder thing to do a cover for, especially a sci-fi VR like Universe Online. It is both a near-future sci-fi and a distant-future hard science fiction web novel. That means the cover has to be able to cover both, which may well be impossible.
So here's the deal. I need a cover both here on RRL... and I've decided that I'm going to bundle up the volume for sell on Amazon. I may end up choosing two different pieces for these two things, or the same one for both.
The winner can request a commission of me to use the art work for sale. I'm more than willing to hash out details for that, or simply buy it straight up (Up to a certain amount. I don't have a whole lot of money, sadly). Or you could damn well let me pay you $50.00 for winning, for those not too worried about it!
So, if anyone is interested, send me a PM here on the forum and let me know! Feel free to include links to drafts or whatnot. I don't mind if the work is digital or hand-drawn. You are free to use any subject matter or reference from the Universe Online story, and may request additional detail or clarification from me if needed.

The Inheritor
Alistair strolled through darkness shunning himself from light, he was plunged into the depths of hell by the greed of his own family. He crawled from those depths leaving trails of blood, craving for vengeance and toiling like a crazy wounded wolf. After years of struggle he stands at the peak, a peak no one could touch, a peak where he could disdain anyone. Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe. He’s determined to lead an entirely different life, a life in which he truly pursues happiness with lots of friends, lovers and a lovable family. Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

System Only Gives Me Useless Gifts
Li Yun grew up with a system that gave him useless gifts. He wanted a reward that could prove the existence of the system, but ended up with abstract gifts like culture. Without physical proof, he was stuck wondering whether his mind was truly sane, all the while dealing with the reality of life. How will the "useless" system help Li Yun navigate medical school, hospital politics, criminal cases, treasure hunting, farming and cooking? Author's Note: This is a slice-of-life novel about a doctor with a mission-type system. It's written as a faux modern Chinese novel, so there are many 1-off characters and episodic mini arcs. Just a bit of warning, the tone of the story is very different after the childhood arc and jumpy as it chronicles Li Yun's life. I'm trying to make it less apparent in the rewrite, but there are still a lot of time skips. RR is the rewrite version, no set schedule. See webnovel for OG. scribblehub is a combo of both . I recommend scribblehub since it has pictures. Copyrights of the novel and cover are owned by Chocomug. Novel is free to read and download for personal use, such as offline reading, only.
