Here's an early draft of the cover for my forthcoming Short Horror Tale #4 - IGNITION SOURCE.
As you can see, the title and series number are absent. However, as a "sketch", the image gives an idea of how the final cover will look. Various changes will be tried to lighting and contrast. Also the redness of the blood may be altered and the shape/spread of the splatter.
Whilst many covers are created to show the "feel" of a story, this one will actually portray a scene from IGNITION SOURCE.
