Whew! What a collection. So let’s see, looks like:
- Strong, clear, (usually) large close-up image of main character(s).
- Blues and greens!
- Title easily readable on the thumbnail.
- Mostly females on the cover.
- Dual scene: close-up shot (usually of character) with faded/blurred background of setting/location.
- Contrasts of light and dark colors.
- Many seem to have a logo/branding/symbol of some kind. Or at least an “item” (weapon, sword, etc.).
- 9 of 10 in Kindle Unlimited (not a cover comment, but yeah, interesting!).
- Most (all?) part of a series.
- No one is smiling. 😉
Whew. OK, there we have it. I need a new cover. I’m going to make this first draft myself. Yeah, so here we go. Based on this, we’ll see how far I get … this afternoon when I upload it.
I know, I know, I really shouldn’t be doing this.
