Making of the new cover for the branch story in Book of Space Lore

in #scholarandscribe2 years ago

The Book of Space Lore

For those that have not seen, read or heard of Book of Space Lore, it is a chain story that I write with @therneau. If you have never heard of a chain story, it is simple. It is a story that is co-written between two or more authors.

The Book of Space Lore is a sci-fi story of course and the one that @therneau and I write together follows Thorne Herm, a miner-surveyor. That is where it started at least. But I am not here to give SPOILERS.

So if you have not read the Book of Space Lore before, I suggest you go to Part 1 Here!

The story has since branched off in another direction and @therneau and I have now gotten into a Multi-ball situation. We have not posted a new episode for a while because of this because we needed to get our heads together as to how to proceed.

Thus the Queen story is getting it's own cover!

Here is how I made it!

Image Credits

I used this for the background:

And this for the foreground:

Which as you can see is some sort of massive spider-like sculpture.

First step I took is to smash the two images into Gimp, take the background away from the Spider and then to darken it out a bit. I used the Dodge tool a lot.

Putting in the title and our names, this is the result!

The Result!

Our names will alternatively light up, depending on whose turn it is to write!

A Correction in the timeline

Finally I would like to make a correction to the timeline and publishing line and names.

We wrote SLZT#1 through to SLZT#25 as a linear story.

SLZT#26 is the branch, thus it is both SLZT#26 (already published that way) as well as SLZT.Q1.

Thus my first replay is out as SLZT.Q2 (Already published that way)

I had made an infographic for it, but messed it up a bit.

Therefore my next post will be SLZT#27 and @therneau's will do SLZT#28 after that.

Alternatively on the branch, @therneau needs to write SLZT.Q3 "The Queen" and I will follow with SLZT.Q4 "The Queen" beyond that.

See you soon for more adventure and mayhem!

Simple but effective use of the images you chose. great work.

Thanks! Wonderful program.

I wonder how would the story evolve if there were 3 writers combined doing it! 😁

Indeed! Something to look at doing!
