Cover Designs!

I don't just draw faeries, ya know.

Recognize this?

I also make edits and covers for Wattpadders, FanFictioners, and myself. I'll display some here, and post the ones I make for people here as well.

Ones I'm not using because I made one that I will use instead:



















Ones that I have made for people:













And here are a few other edits of mine. Some actually become parts of covers. Others become Multimedia images (Wattpad only):















Feel free to make requests!

The Ciro Family - A Saddening History

I feel horrible for this family.

 
Jarvis, Lavita, Aori, and Lucy Ciro, made on Azalea's Dolls - Lord of the Rings/Hobbit Scene Maker
 
The Ciros are elves. They are immortal, yet can still die. So, to phrase it better, they will live indefinitely unless killed by severe illness or others.
 
The primary figure in the family is Aori Ciro. Aged 270 years as of The Lost Sister, he is a very sensitive and rather young elf. He was born and raised in the seaside village of Viera in the Irelian Empire. At the age of twenty, his family friends the Farhans had their eldest child Lavita, whose parents desired she marry Aori when the time was right. The two grew to become the best of friends as Lavita grew up, but not once did the two ever think of marrying.
 
Until, of course, Lavita hit puberty.
 
As soon as she started maturing, Aori felt some kind of connection to her, and she felt one towards him. It wasn't any normal love, though, they realized. The electricity and power created when they kissed was simply divine, and a sign that the two were soul mates. When Lavita was finally 20 and Aori 40, the two were married.
 
As the years passed, they quickly evolved into decades, and eventually two centuries. At the age of 238, Lavita gave birth to their first child, Jarvis. At the age of 242, she gave birth to Lucy. And at the unfortunate age of 250, Lavita was cruelly murdered.
 
It's an unfortunate story, really, her murder. The Ciros were visiting Lavita's parents in Reyjavik, and were on their way back to the Farhans' house after attending a party when they were attacked by a man Aori would learn months later to be the legendary Horned King.

Aori sent Jarvis and Lucy running back to their grandparents' house, but Lavita had already been in the Horned King's arms. Granted, the Horned King was disguised, wearing black clothing and a black hooded cloak as well as a mask of a human's face (which one can decide on how he acquired such a realistic mask), but he could not conceal his horns. The Horned King had Aori restrained as he beat Lavita, eventually choking her to death. If you know the Disney movie featuring the Horned King, The Black Cauldron, then you know how much he loves choking people. He releases Aori, only to disappear for a few months and return not for Aori, but for the "young" lady he happens to be with.
 
Since then, Aori has lived without his beloved wife, but just barely. However, a few months after her murder, he meets a woman who claims her name is Rebecca Laiserydes, and that's where his involvement in The Lost Sister begins.
 
I hope this elaboration on one of my favorite OC families pleases you and encourages you to read the first story featuring them, The Lost Sister.

New Story On Wattpad!

Hey!

Yes, I have a new story I want to share with you!

...

Okay, so the story isn't up just yet, but I hope it will be soon! I'm still working on the first chapter. But I'm halfway done with it!

The first book of the trilogy is entitled The Age Of Empire: Book One: Blood. The prologue, however, is up under the title The Age Of Empire: Prologue. The other two books will be entitled The Age Of Empire: Book Two: Bounty and The Age Of Empire: Book Three: Beauty.

It's an adventure/fantasy/romance/action story. It's hard to describe. This is the summary:

The enemy is coming. And it will not stop. Not until it gets what it wants. And it wants Blood, Bounty, and Beauty.

Pretty cryptic, no? Well, if you want more information, you'll just have to read it!

Here are some character pictures:


Empress Aryss Loralynn of the Predonyan Empire.
She is one of the characters who hosts the perspective of some of the story.
Although a bit clueless of her surroundings, as her father passed away leaving her with a crumbling empire to try to put back together, she is a strong, independent young woman in her early twenties.

Magda Drakeheart
She is one of the main characters, and hosts the perspective of most of the story.
Although female and an orphan, she is extremely warlike and normally a very agitated, annoyed person. She is young, only in her late teens, but she is not to be underestimated, as she will not hold back on holding a grudge and picking a fight with someone.

Once I make more characters, I will post their images here as well. :-)

Now, this is the base cover:

What is added to each cover for each of the books:
Book One: Blood
Book Two: Bounty
Book Three: Beauty

I designed it on FanFiction's cover editor, which is powered by Aviary. Sure, this is a Wattpad story, but I really like the editor on FanFiction.net, nor can you create covers on Wattpad like you can FanFiction. So I use FanFiction to make all the covers I don't draw, and even then I end up taking a picture of them and editing them on FanFiction some. XD [9/29/2013: Recently I discovered another site for editing pictures: PicMonkey. I can do more on PicMonkey than I can on FanFiction's version of Aviary.]

I will post the links to the rest of the stories as I post them on Wattpad.

If you want more information, don't be afraid to comment or PM me on Wattpad!

The character images so far have been made on DollDivine.

Now...back to writing!
