Assassin book cover

Contest Brief

I need a 5.5" by 8.5" book cover featuring a twenty-something year old girl with dark crimson hair (can be drawn or shot, I don't have a preference). She should be wearing a dark cloak and is holding two daggers. An Alternative design could be something featuring the two daggers. If you choose to go with the girl I would like her either to be facing directly forward or turned away and slightly looking toward the front. I need the front cover to have the title "Sicarius" and Dylan Armstrong (author's name) on it. Where it goes is up to you. On the back, I need a background that matches similar to the background of the front and will also have the description of the novel: "Sicarius is the name given to the assassin feared by many. Known throughout many kingdoms to be one of the most skilled in the art of murder, she has caused the rise and fall of even kings. This same sicarius, however, has taken on a rather unusual mission escorting a young girl named Nora." It will also include my author picture which will be provided along with the author bio: "Dylan Armstrong grew up in the gateway to the west, St. Louis. He has always been a huge fan of fantasy stories, particularly involving magic. Imagining a world filled with energy and mystery to explore was what made him become a writer. Dylan also plays a guitar in his free time and writes songs. Dylan loves sports and being active especially in the warmer months."

    It's almost down to the last 24 hours so if you have any more entrees to make do them quickly. I will decide the winner in the last couple hours of the contest. Feel free to experiment with your design a little. You might come up with something even better than before! Good luck!

    As it stands the contest is between Orvik and Diana. Both put forth masterful pieces of artwork. If you have yet to submit a piece feel free to but you have some tough competition. :)

    Hi Dylan, working on a design I hope you will like - my son does heh, but could you tell me how many pages the book will be on? It's so I can proportion the cover-spine text properly.

      I will do that myself so don't worry but it should be around the 60-70 page range.

    Hello this is only a minor detail so don't worry about it if you have already posted entrees but I seemed to have misspelled sicarius as siccarius. So if you want to fix it great but if you decide not to unless I pick you as the winner I perfectly understand. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

    Guys please don't just copy and paste a pic from the internet and modify it. I could do that myself if I wanted to. It doesn't take any talent or creativity and not to mention there would be copyright issues if I published the cover. If I find you submit more than one copyrighted piece I will no longer consider any of your further entrees and disqualify you from the contest.

      You have unjustly removed the cover from Tatiana A. because there are images that can be used for design. The cover was super-designed. Unfortunately, it's no longer in the competition. Injustice!!!

    Don't worry about time guys I don't plan to close early. If you are aware of any copy paste jobs please let me know and I will be looking into it myself. Of course all copy paste jobs will be rejected.

    I posted an image under the description. The Assassin's blade feel is more of what I'm shooting for.

    Guys I really want the cover to emphasize her as a mysterious character. She is sneak first warrior second. I love the designs so far but she needs to look more like a cloak and dagger assassin than a warrior. Hide her face a little under a hood maybe.
