Hector Herrera is in his early 20's and aimlessly going through the motions of life. He was living at home with his widowed mother and step father when he stumbled upon the ability to skip through time. Soon after finding out that he's not the only one, he's confronted with the opportunity to delve deeper into this newly found world by fighting against historical injustice. But to do so he'll have to leave behind everything he's ever known.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/104/104151/attachment_104151469 "This is the blurb:
The universe dies a slow death. In many billions of years, humanity has spread out over many galaxies where it exists as a group of immortal consciousnesses. Its greatest grief is the fact that no other intelligent life has ever been found. Its greatest hope consists in the plan to destroy the universe and wipe out itself with an artificial big bang that might result in a better cosmos. Everything is set for a grand finale - but then something happens that nobody expected. And humanity must re-consider itself and its whole existence.
The cover should show the beauty of the universe and the hopelessness of humanity. It should be fascinating to look at, transporting a certain wow effect.")

The story is manly about three wolfs. I wish them to be as silhouettes in the front of the moon. The one on the right should look to the right, the one in the middle above, or to the front, the one to the left looks left.
If you could insert to every wolf silhouette an own picture, like the women in the attached photo, that would be awesome!
I would like that the wolf on the left, has an african landscape.
The wolf in the middle the silhouette of an historic medieval city.
And the wolf on the right an snowstorm in the mountains.")

The climax of the book occurs beneath an eruption, and the antagonist is a shape-shifting monster distinguished by his golden animal-like eyes.
The protagonist uses fire magic, though I'm not sure how this could be used without making the cover cluttered. I would be interested to see if a designer could use fire in an elegant way.
Text - An angular and sharp font, as the book is set in a feudal period.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/101/101954/attachment_101954525 "Design needs:
The feel should be dark fairytales. Details that will work well are the woods, flowers, apples, fairy creatures and anything that suggests magic. Think ancient fairy folklore.
I would like to stay away from the prominent red color of that cover, so that it looks like a companion, but not the same (greens and golden-yellows will work well, but feel free to explore).")
