This was the first cover of Glitch, made before the first chapter was even written:


    I made this cover after a brief talk with Alexis Keane</a> (check out his fiction by clicking his name! It''s a dungeon story!) about what makes a good cover. Although it is elegant and visually appealing, this cover did not quite fit what I was looking for. There was no hook for people to want to read. All I had was the symbol that now represents "Elizabeth x Edward", he is the Green Skull and she represents the purple flames. Without the purple flames, that is the symbol of the Glitching Circle / Clique / Gang "The Skulls''.


    The second cover was then made after a discussion on Discord about what the original one needed. We decided on a title and borders.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    I also added "Pat.e.ll", which is my name as an author. This cover lasted a month and I planned to make it official. It had all I was looking for.


    However, it lacked waifus. That, for Vsolon</a>, was a great problem.


    The third cover is when things started getting too hard for me.


    It looked way too cringy to be a front cover, but it had a great appeal as a miniature. I thought that maybe it could be used in the description as a hook for the readers to find a visual style to see what they read.


    Yet I was not satisfied. I was cluttering an image that was never supposed to have that much going on.


    And then ssddx</a>came to do my job for me. To make this cover for you, we were up at 4 AM:


    &


    And this is where we are right now. What do you guys think? Would the novel have worked with Cover 2 or 1?


    Thank you guys for reading!
