Book Blurb for back cover:

Every dream is a nightmare in waiting.
Fourteen-year-old Callie has a secret. One she doesn’t share with anyone, including her best friend and twin brother, Luca. Sometimes, in her sleep, she visits a breathtaking place that is all hers, until tonight. On this visit, her brother is there, but so is the monster Callie greatly fears and who attacks and carries Luca away.
During those same moments, Callie’s grandfather awakens from his nightmare of a long-forgotten place to learn that his grandson is missing. When Callie confides in him about her dream, it triggers a landslide of lost memories. Memories of a night fifty years earlier, when his cousin disappeared without a trace.
Callie and her grandfather soon discover they share a link to a perilous place where the thresholds of infinite worlds touch, myths turn into reality, wonder and death are close companions, and friendships are forged and destroyed.
Can Callie, her grandfather, and his three lifelong friends, uncover this world’s secrets and rescue those they lost before carnage comes into their lives? Or will they discover there is no longer any escape for anyone from this place called The Liminal?

I have also put a description of the story in general comments. I can probably give a synopsis of the physical description of The Liminal if that will be helpful

The silhouettes should be of four teenage boys

Hey there! I submitted my entry for the cover. The recommendation for 4 boys was posted after I began working, so I hadn't seen it. I'll add an extra person in and re-render for you, but the current design should give you an idea of what I went for. The artwork is 100% unique and original. I would be able to maintain the same style across a range of books. If you'd like the colours tweaked, i.e. more blue than green, that's no problem. Just let me know. I'll see you shortly with an updated submission. Thanks!

DEAR PROJECT OWNER

can you please tell me about it? what character includes on your covers? and what type of background u need?


by Arv's Archive on Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Hi again! The correction with 4 boys instead of 3 will be coming soon. Could you please also clarify if the subtitle is 'Daniel' or 'Callie'? The main brief says Daniel, but the blurb and your example are Callie. Thanks in advance!
A side note: I'd be able to prove my work is original if necessary, just because a lot of contest sites have designers stealing work and trying to monetise it. The option is there if that would offer you any peace of mind at any point.
