"double0kevin, I hope the quality of you're story is better than the quality of you're cover."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

...oh wait no, you're not funny.

[double0kevin]

im looking for real artists not losers who dont no a thing about bond!!

[Blofeld's Cat]

OK, stop right there double0kevin. No need for name calling.

It was only meant as a joke.

No retaliations please.

[DieAnotherDay57]

well actually that is preety good .I mean take a look at the cover for the original Live And Let Die novel, all it had was the title ,author , and a skeleton hand. And some pebels .

[Brix Bond]

Oh gee, and you know so much about me.

Yes.

Hm.

Well considering my knowledge on the subject is encyclopaedic and outweighs all my Bond textbooks put together on one stressed coffee table due to the fact I've been studying, practicing and preaching my subject since I was 7 years old, you can just go beg for pennies in the streets.

You should ask Mr * to make one for you, if he's not busy, his covers are great.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Unfortunately, due to the sheer volumn of requests of this nature (as well as work in other areas) you may find that Mr.* has "retired" from producing graphics by request.

i don not want to fight with any bond fans on site, as i respect the interest and fans, i am sorry if i slaged of brix_bond_007, but i was just really looking for a good cover artist. sorry again.

[Tehuti 004]

I am willing to give it a shot when I get home from work kev'. What exactly are you looking for?

[Jim]

I thought it was quite effective - looks like it's written in blood/lipstick/either of the two. Simple idea. After all, can't really all be silhouettes and/or flowers wrapped around guns all the time?

[double0kevin]

hey tehuti if you wanna give it a shot reply to my fallen kill thread, we can take more freely there. or you can email me!!

[Tehuti 004]

Why can't we talk in here? Since this is the thread which is here for that reason.

So what exactly will you want in your books cover?

[Icephoenix]

[double0kevin]

[double0kevin]

[Tehuti 004]

[double0kevin]

[Tehuti 004]

Relating to Bond?

[Sir Hilary Bray]

I don't usually get into this sort of thing, but I had an hour to kill today and...

[Sir Hilary Bray]

Why thank you, Bond111. I've been lurking in this forum for a while now, and had the chance to see some really interesting posts. I've also read some INCREDIBLE fanfic.

By way of introduction, I've been a Bond junkie for 40 years now, and was at one time one of the stalwarts of alt.fan.james-bond. Personal circumstances kept me away for a while, but I've decided to start having fun with my favorite addiction again.

In fact, 25 years ago I indulged in a bit of fan-fic myself, but it only took the shape of an "epilog chapter" to YOLT.

I'll see if I can dig it up...

The thought just occurred to me... If I'd used a PPK instead of a P99 this could have been titled:

"WHAT IF RICHARD CHOPPING HAD DONE 'DOCTOR NO'?"

Well, thanks.

And it's getting better... I keep adding touches to it.

I've always been kinda handy with Paint Shop Pro, but I finally decided to stretch the envelope a little.

Not bad for a first attempt, if I say so myself.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Welcome to CBn Hilly, and nice artwork.

Also like your sig too.
