So the end of ISM book 3 kinda snuck up on me, and I realized i need to finish preparations for their ultimate release on Amazon, and I'm woefully behind. I need a cover for book 2 and 3, and my ideas for covers are kind of nebulous and lame. I am officially in panic mode.So, this is where you guys can help me out by giving suggestions for covers. If you have an idea for a setup, post it below in the comments, and don't forget to check through other people's comments to see if there's something you like, and upvote that.I will share more details on the potential release details, and future plans as we get closer to finishing Book 3, but for right now it's just covers and editing that need to be done.Perry still needs to beat that dragon and colonize Manita, afterall.I do have a great title for book 2 though: Industrial Strength Magic: Sequel.EXELooking forward to dropping back in and checking the comments later tonight. RN I gotta wheel and deal with my editor and the soundbooth people. WHOOOO!EDIT: Due to popular request: Book 1 is Chapter 1->83 Book 2 is Chapter 84->154, Book 3 is 155+

Not SEQUEL.DOC? 😜

Dragon in a lab coat.

Center, Perry and Chem flying towards eachother to clash in a fight. Bottom, Heather and Nat embracing ontop of the train, maybe with Matador with his cape behind them. Top, the sun behind Solaris looking down on it all.

Benjamin Whistler

For book 3 - Perry and Tyrannus working on a blueprint together and smiling, while both hold knives/explosives behind their back, like spy vs spy EDIT: I actually don't remember what arcs are in what book lol

Phsteven

Book 2 cover should definitely have dnd Perry in black knights armor with his magic sword in hand facing off against the “gods” with Brenden in the back ground in a janitors uniform with a broom.

Phsteven

Unless of course, that is in book 3…. I don’t really know when one book starts or ends lol

Kurt A

Book 3 could be titled Enemy.exe

Kasper

Considering covers should preferably hint at something that happens in said book, it might be helpful to know roughly what parts book 2 and 3 contains. And where book 1 ends, for that matter, for those of us who've only read the online novel :)

Macronomicon

Added the chapter #s in the bottom of the post. TY!

Thomas

My assumption is book 2 is after the death of Nexus through Doctor replicator's "death", and book 3 is post replicator through Dragon's demise that hasn't happened yet.

Michael

Perry wrestling a bird, while a dragon in a lab coat takes notes and measurements in the background for book 3

Findell

The underground replicator scene for book 2 The bio enginner dog and kids book 3 The werid moon aliens that came for women book 3

Shot Way

This needs to be in the style of the original comics

Kurt A

I think the book 3 cover should be a 50/50 split between them working together and them fighting.

Book 1: Perry in the center surrounded by family and friends similar to Mushoku Tensei Vol 1 cover. Book 2: Perry, Nat, Wraith, Chemestro and Boomer standing against the replicators as Solaris flies over the battlefield Book 3: Perry and Tyrannus looking at a portal to Manitia while Heather is holding the twins Will there be any AI assisted images of the characters? Sometimes I wonder if Heather is blonde or a redhead, I can’t remember how tall Nat is, and I’m tired of trying to paint a mind picture of Hexen.

Gaunt

Can you pls establish what arcs are in which book?

Code Reed

Personally, I like the first book to have a clear picture of the MC so my lacking imagination and memory doesn't have to work to hard to remember what he looks like. As for the cover itself, I'd say him with an iPad or some sort standing by his cardboard suit taking notes. Maybe Heather off to the side. As for book 2, something involving that little orb thing they found in Chicago that kills and replicates people. Maybe with that railgun guy turning to dust in front of the crew. Book 3 just has to have the dragon and the bird thing in it. Keeping things a little vague, since I don't know what exactly you will want. Just pointing out a few key things that definitely should be in it.

Kasper

For book 2: I think any scene of the group in Chicago could be a fun image, juxtaposing confused 1970s folk with the absolute cavalcade of strange that was the team. For action it could be them facing down the Replicators in the street, or their encounter with Joshua Cochran. For comedy, hard to beat a bunch of supers squeezed into a diner.

DeeSharkman

Either that, or Perry and Tyrannus doing one of those faux-friendly handshakes where both people try to crush the other's hand

Book 2 definitely is all about replicators. This could be with zombie vibes (hordes of replicators climbing over chicago or something) More eerie with an idyllic 80s scene, interspaced with some not entirely humans and giant replicator combat bots (or whatever) or maybe mad scientist vibes, inventing replicators, building some person to preserve as a robot etc. just some suggestions

BluEarth

Book 2 - Nat, Heather & Parry on way to debute ball next to Unicorn carriage with explosions in the background (because explosions are awesome)

FreakShow

Book 2 has gotta be the gang on the train fighting replicators while matador hovers above ominously (new readers don’t know he’s a good guy)

Frederic Vincent

Book 2: Perry and friends infiltrating Chicago on the bottom left, Perry and friends facing the “gods” on the bottom right, and the replicators surrounding the city or Perry facing Professor Replicator in the center. Book 3 - NewRivals.exe: Perry and friends facing Tyrranus’ squad with his body/face faded in the background with ominous eyes.

Nederdeader

Book 2: Perry meeting Nat's parents with a shirt saying 'deflower power'

StrollingEye

Yeah, Matador could be really photogenic, cape and cigar and 1950's chromed car appearance. It would contrast well with the mark 3 (still cardboard right?)

Dion Crump

PPP leaching from Perry’s shadow to cover some enemy he’s fighting. Even with the chapter numbers added I have no clue what’s covered. What Arcs does the book cover?

Jackson Andrews

book two should be perry falling into professor replicas lair, dozens of replicators around and the chicago skyline behind, book three should be perry on the cart going to the west coast, with his armor flying over head, and a shot of the giant dragon god statues around

William

I feel like the pregnancy is more significant than many of the other things in book 3, if I've got the book breakdown right.

Salthin

I would recommend doing a parody of the first cover. A pure black suit all damaged while chemistro, the two ladies, whoever the fuck chemistros dad was named again, and have it take place in chicago. A clear chicago landmark or something, or maybe a train. Maybe don't overthink it? Perhaps PPP.exe could make an appearance as its black web-tentacle self.

Salthin

If he's wearing his suit, it needs to be damaged and this needs to be under it.

Ronin

Heather is Strawberry blonde and I think Nat is like 5'0" but I'm not completely sure

H

Book 3: perry and a dragon sitting side by side on school desks trying to hide thier test answers from each other

Kiew

The image of Perry starring up into the Tide always stuck with me, his inner formless horror hungry for that formless horror. Idk how one even draws any of that tho? Perry with a tentacular shadow starring up into a vaguely similar writhing cosmic night sky?

Zammz

I have ideas for a book 3 cover: 1. Trannus in a lab coat and goggles (possible evil lab in the background). 2. Tyrannus and Perry having a propper tea party with a magnifying glass making Perry seem as big as the dragon

Michael Neal

That second idea is a good one...🤔

Christopher Belan

I suggest going with an old school comic book cover style with Perry and his team on one side facing off against a random arch villain and their minions.
