Hahah, nah I'm too soft to rock, but ty.

Anyway, when you come up with the layout of your cover let me know.
Even though I might not be able to draw your chars, I might find something to tweak into looking as you described.
Take care.

regarding those descriptions of characters...

well im sure you wont find an artist who can draw them. you would ask why? because you put way too much detail. the more detail artist is given the less freedom he will have. im not saying artist shouldnt know details etc, but details like how one or the other thing works (those nano brain stimulators or whatever for example) is not required.
if you want something done give the man some most important , key features of the character and maybe some background which would explain his lifestyle.not the whole child-stories tho - would it really matter to know them if the character looks totaly different,acts totaly different etc now?

just a few thoughts.

Don't post any thing like that on peoples profiles as its not the real objective when one wishes to join. Its to learn and make friends.

Hey again.

I don't know if you understood me.
At present I can't draw every character from your book, and in my opnion, having lots of chars on a cover kinda blurrs it.

So, my advice would be to single out maybe 2 or 3 of your main characters, and maybe some theme from the story, if it takes place in space etc.
And focus on those elements.

Don't think you want it to look like a groupschool picture or something.
A nice subtle front with maybe a silouhette of main chars or summin would do the trick, again IMO.

Talk to you later, take care.

The lay out of the armor suit is as follows: A visored helmet that looks like the kind worn by street bike racers. Inside the helmet is an H.H.U.D. (Holographic Heads Up Display) integrated into the visor which can change in translucency to give the wearer the best view of his or her surroundings. The helmet also as a nano-thought link amplifying antennae located were the helmet interlocks with the neck guard, which runs three hundred and sixty degrees around the wearer’s neck. The minimum range of communication with the amplifier is about two and half million parsecs and maximum range six million parsecs. A parsec is three point two six light years.
The part of the armor that protects the back and chest houses the armor’s complex life-support systems which in turn are connected directly to the helmet via the nano-thought link amplifier which in turn is connected directly into the user’s artificial brain via a short slender needle-like probe known as the A.B.C. (Artificial Brain Connecter.)
The A.B.C. when used in conjunction the H.H.U.D. and N.T.L.A. (Nano-Thought Link Amplifier) allows a soldier to bypass and or control the computers of starships enabling them to be flown from inside by having the pilot and or copilot being hook up to the ship’s computer by having four cylindrical probes inserted into the back their artificial brains and two places in the spinal column.

One near wear the cranium attaches to the neck and yet another in the middle of the back. The leg area is protected by armor the runs from the thigh to the combat boots which are also armored.


?!. Is there a description of how you want the bookcover to look in there somewhere?.

A bit yeah, but i'm better at composating and editng.:)
So if you got some pics with pieces you'd like me to use, just send em all over with description.
Or you can tell me what you're looking for and I can try summin.

Edit: Also the measurements and so on would be good for the pic itself, so send a full description of what you want.:)

Heres a link to the Frontpage I did for the JA Comic Acey made.

clickeh

If link doesnt work, you can Search the General Forum for Subject JA Comic, and find it there you will.

Talk to you later, take care.

Yeah, 'The Peace Platoon' is a good name. How about a group called 'The Galactic Guardians?' I wouldnt know just what they'd guard.. but I leave that up to you.
So yeah, you can make up cool names for republics, empires and kingdoms. For example: 'The [Alien species] Republic.'
You can make up some resistance groups too, in case of a galactic war. Like, 'Vengeance,' who seek revenge.. for whatever reason.

Anyway, groups and organisations dont really have to resemble anything that exists today. Just think of what you want to tell us. For example: 'Greed leads to agression amongst groups/orginasations, which may result in war.´ Then make one, or more, organisations think that way. (Greedy.) Plus, have a guy, group, or entire empire fight for the opposite, whatever is right, or what you think should be done as a solution. Then think of wether the 'good' wins, loses or neither..

Finally, you can think of some cool technology of the future. Or even what society will be like. Or produce different societies next to each other.. how do they get along? Do they get along at all? Etc..
What about aliens? In the average Science Fiction story, the universe is swarmed with aliens. Thing is, we dont know that for sure. I thought it may be interesting to do a SF story about a galaxy with JUST us - no aliens. We're alone.. for whatever reason.
Stuff like that :P

I hope those ideas helped. See, this way, your story will be about your ideas, without actually pointing your finger at anything in specific. And it might just be fun to do/read. :)

Awesome. Good to see you're trying to steer clear from material that may be 'sensitive.' :) Maybe it's an idea to use parties which have nothing to do with any beliefs and give them a cool name? Just a thought :)

It's not uncommon for two people to not see eye-to-eye on certain matters. Especially one as gargantuan as religion.
You will not get Dane to see your point of view and he will not get you to see his - or maybe he does see your point of view and through his own morality and life experiences, deems it wrong - or vice versa.

All that is happening right now is you are both posting messages on eachother profiles with no hope of establishing a conclusion, therefore the posts will not end until one of you just stops posting on the other person's profile.

You have requested that Dane send you no more hate-mail, yet you seem to reply to his every post. Again, this is not me trying to tell you that you're out of line or anything, I'm simply trying to help you see how counter-productive such exchanges are. :)

Dane will stop posting on your profile if you can stop posting on his.

Problem solved. :D

Hey.

I read your post in the Avatars Forum, but, I couldnt find the cover you wanted.
So, if you still want the Av, could you link me to where I can find it,(A good quality pic of the cover). and I'll see what I can do.

Talk to you later, take care.

Don't throw your opinions at me, I don't care. your story completely ignored every other religion in the world except muslims and christians. What about jews, catholics, bhuddists, hindus etc? they all do a mass convert to either 'radical muslims' or 'eternally correct christians'? epic storytelling.

Those are your opinions in that story and I also have a right to disagree with them. I'm not going to get into an arguement about 'the war on terror' because i'm criticizing your story, not your country. On another note I thought, along with the religious war theme it was very poor. A lot of parts didn't make sense, for instance a building being 'triagular' is impossible as a triangle is a two demensional object and there wouldn't be any space inside it to live. You also borrowed a lot from real world events and didn't bother to disguise them when attempting to write fiction.

If you want to make a reply to my post, do it in your thread where it belongs and keep your political views off my profile.
