Hey guys! I recently started production on a tabletop roleplaying game to be published in the fourth quarter...now, I've resolved to do the cover art myself, but I'm a little lost for ideas.
Could any of you help me come up with some good layouts/sketches/designs for the cover?
The premise of the RPG is as follows:
Thousands of years ago, an extremely powerful magical civilization screwed up big time. The planets aligned, and apocalyptic stuff happened. The waters rose, and the world became one big ocean, dotted with islands.
Fastforward to the present. There are a number of city-states and other forces inhabiting those islands now. Gigantic, partially organic humanoid Machines (think Neon Genesis Evangelion) are what comprises most of the fighting forces; there are no armies, only gargantuan duels to the death. Mages support and command the pilots of the Machines.
But now, the planets are beginning to align once again. And the great priests of the Temples of Nephram are prophesizing an end of the age....some say in a glorious new golden age, others, in total annihilation.
***
So, any ideas? We're going for epic, quasi-religious type thing here. There'll be "Nephram Ascendant" somewhere on the cover, probably centered at the top, with some kind of logo behind it. But beyond that, I'm at a loss. Little help?
