Magical orb, merlin apparition, surprised expression, terrible haircuts, horrific blue robe, cheesy green and gold crest, nerd throne, chains leading to nowhere, potions, books…. huh? Oh I’m just saying random words… think you could get it all in there?

Well I had this vision of a character with a waist coat, kinda like the cover of that book “Alien Infulences”.. but make it a women just in case someone catches on. You know the way magic is normally represented by lens flares? At least six of them please! We’ll completely pwn Rusch!

Flying cone shaped space ships, check. Waist coated 80′s sci-fi guy, check. Glowing floating drug pots, check. Len flares, check check AND check! The magic will be strong with this one.

Heard of the glow effect in photoshop? Good, ’cause I want it! Place it around a guy who looks like he has just come out of his chemistry class… but instead of being in school, have him standing on a planet in space with a HUGE glowing moon in the background!

Shoulder pads, parachuter’s with lugers, Nazi’s fighting villagers, lens flare oh lots of lens flare which obviously symbolises magic, leather, sweat bands, …. did I mention shoulder pads?
(Have a great easter weekend! This bends our rules seeing as it is part of a franchise, but come on this one is so worth it! Enjoy!)
Thanks so much to CSA!

Typical blonde helpless maiden, possibly a wench from the local drinkery. Then a typical bartender looking guy with perm, a wooden magic wand, a glowing wrist band and a red misty entity coming from the side. Come on… Do I have to think of everything?!?!

I’m not looking for more than a typical cover. Boy, wearing an anorak and holding some sort of gold phallus meets girl, naked and curled up in a glowing ball of energy.

Art direction: I want this cover to scream EVILLL!!! Yes, yes, just like before. But this time forget the pentagram and just put an evil tree with friggin’ lightning coming out from its branches!

Art direction: I have two words for you: Magic Fireball! Have some leather clad guy holding an old school hunting rife casting it. Just make sure that the fireball is purple! Magic is purple…. right?
Thanks to CSA!

Art direction: Actually, I wasn’t really looking for an actual castle. Instead, could you have a couple of people juggling things with little water tentacle creatures and others watching them? And if we had a close up of one of the guys making you think “is he juggling those balls with magic… or just… well, juggling?” … anyway, if we had that, that’d be juuuust great.
Thanks to CSA!
