Here is my creation for TGO's 007 Story A New Day To Die, a cover which I hope he is pleased with. :)

A really great cover, congratulations, Shea! :)

But I would have to critizice one point: the font. It doesn't work somehow. I would change that. :)

Brilliant piece, it looks really intouch with all the Fleming covers, u know the rose and the skull kinda thing? I like it alot. Normally i'd disagree with the 3D-effect text, but i think in this case it works, otherwise it might look as if the text was printed onto the wooden backround, which could look a little odd.

All in all, a great piece. Keep up the good work! :)

And BTW, did anyone read my sample? If so, what did you think?

Good effort there Ice.

The font style is OK, but the colouring seems to make it blend in too much with the background.

Is the wooden look a significant element used in the fanfic?

Not at all really. But, perhaps if you look at the half-finished draft, perhaps you can dissemiate for yourself. :)
