Gallery: Debut Fantasy Novel Covers

Some daring folks have taken up the challenge to create their debut fantasy novel cover. Below are the results – awesomely bad, to be sure. If you give it a shot, let me know and I’ll add your cover to the mix.

Dream of Illusion @ teacherninja. Nice font – can we get this on an actual release?

The Vengeance of Argir @ teacherninja. Not only a spooky cover, but an award winner as well.

The Findrindis Children @ B. Nagel. The lone tree in a desolate landscape – fantasy gold.

Crystal of Discord @ Charlotte’s Library. Not much crystal, but plenty of discord.

Circle of the Unholy Maiden, The Spirit of the Dream, and The Golden Stone @ malindalo. Malinda decided, in true fantasy fashion, to create a trilogy of covers.

Queen and Doom @ Taking Flight. I could actually see this one on shelves.

The Power of Lodon @ DaveBrendon’s Fantasy & Sci-Fi Weblog. Giant butterflies help a sail-less ship.

The Memory Dream @ Archimedes Forgets. Caught between two worlds – butterfly or cat?

The Crystal and the King @ ayuddha.net. Turning up the heat (and the world on its side).

Herald of the Golden Magic. This one’s mine. The worlds strangest “ice breaker” activity.
