@sexyandinactive.bsky.social (title) and I (cover art) did this for @quillofclark.bsky.social's book called Fushi No Shokuzai. This is the alternate cover art since the original one is too graphic. It is currently on Wattpad, Royal Road and Inkitt! (Clark has links on his pinned if u want to read)

Book cover of samurai wearing a mempo (mask). The left side is flames flowing from his sword, covering half of his face. The writing is in katakana and it reads "Fushi no Shokuzai"

FRANKENSTEIN but in a Cantonese matriarchy.

When an entomologist’s insect-pheromone powers evolves her into a gigantic Kaiju-like Asian monster, and when she and the cocky swordswoman sent to take her hostage fall in love, they must decide if their love is worth dying for.

JASAD HEIR X CURIOUS TIDES

Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around every corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.

🌊 Pacific Islander Rep
🌊 Elemental Magic
🌊 Endless Banter

This image is the first of four to showcase elements for my upcoming book, Whispers of the Sea.

The picture reads: “An Agents Guide to Whispers of the Sea.”

This book will be a young adult fantasy.

This is the second image in my guide, and it includes the pitch for my novel.

Such pitch reads to say:

“Whispers of the Sea follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.

Maia must voyage across the seas to this mysterious isle where she’ll team up with a local boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.”

This is the third image in my guide, and it portrays my comp titles.

My book will be perfect for the fans of the Jasad Heir, A River Enchanted, Curious Tides, and the Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi.

This is the last image in my guide, and it showcases the aesthetic and a few elements that can be found in the book.

A few of these elements are: found family, secret ploys, outlawed magic, and self discovery.

THE SPELLSHOP x HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE

A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company.

#QuestPit #A #RF #F #agentsguide #disabilityrep #chronicillnessrep #cozyromanticfantasy

A slide with green leaves and green watercolor stains says "The Pitch: A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company." A black cat looks over it's shoulder at the text in the bottom right corner.

Tropes and Highlights include: found family, one bed at the inn, witches and familiars, cozy vibes, grumpy + sunshine, bi-for-bi romance, chronic illness rep, and foraging dates. Think, The Spellshop X Howl's Moving Castle. This text is on top of a green slide with green watercolor splotches and leaves. The book covers for The Spellshop and Howl's Moving Castle are in the center of the image.

Comps is written in the corner. Four book covers are shown in a row. Under the Whispering Door + Legends & Lattes + The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches = Potions Unincorporated. The words The Humor, The Cozy Fantasy Vibes, and The Romance make up the formula for the not yet published book on the far right. The slide is green with green water color splotches. A green vine is on the top right and the outline of a leaf and two mushrooms is on the bottom right.

First Lines is written at the top of the slide. The Text in the middle is on a tan, worn looking page background which says: Potions Unincorporated. Twelve vials sat on a shelf where one hundred should rest. Linatta Mosset picked up one of the tapered glasses---thumb-sized and filled to the brim with a warm, green liquid.

A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.

The official book cover created by donutsthetic.bsky.social; shows the main protagonist engaging in a delicate ritual in Japanese Samurai Culture called "Seppuku" which involves disemboweling oneself to atone for one's sins. It is believed that by doing so, one can be absolved of their mistakes and regain honor.
