《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.

Sect Core
A peak cultivator is betrayed by his sect for being of common birth. The sect decides to not only kill him but transform him into a core, so they can use him for cultivation. But to get full control of all the sects formations, all of his energy has to be banned from the galaxy. In this manner, the main character is thrown into the rift in the middle of the galaxy. This rift transports him into another galaxy, where his journey to become the core of the most prominent sect begins. --- This is my first story, and the release schedule will be spotty in the beginning because I still have to do a lot of world building and thinking where the story should go. But I decided to put it out into the world to get some feedback so I can see what people think about it and maybe even get some inspiration. --- The cover image is not my own. I copied it from the internet. I thought it was cool and it suited the story. All rights reserved for the owner of the image.

DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.

GREED : ALL FOR WHAT?
What if magic were real, how would our world be like? How would the biology of organisms be like? What would be our priorities? Would our values change? How would magic possibly work? How powerful would magic be? Is there a limit to the power that magic can give? Could the issue of equality and fairness be finally solved? Would our society be better for it?This book attempts to solve these questions and many others. It does not boast to have found the answers but you will not be left wanting in the great and magical world that has been envisioned. It is a world with a grand system of multiple universes.In a world with Gods, Demons, and Titans. Born as a high elf with arguably the highest affinity to mana in High Heaven Realm, Gehald, our MC isn't satisfied. With his inner demons awakened, he set out to achieve perfection. Gehald is power-hungry and ruthless, cold and calculating, determined and unwavering no matter the obstacles. But the world isn't so simple, the world wasn't made just for him, numerous others are have taken the same path as him, sometimes they would collaborate but most times they would clash. Even two demon kings cannot share the same level of the abyss, after all, the path of power is narrow, you could get pushed off by another and pay the price of defeat with your life. Gehald isn't a hero, and the world doesn't just hand things over to him.Why is his world the way it is? What could come from the unique fusion of the powers of Gods, Demons, and Titans in a single vessel?
