(Left) The Cover of Emergent Consequences, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Life and Death lay asleep in a the grass, the way they lay slightly resembling the yin-yang symbol. The tools of their trades are scattered around them.

Life is a woman with black hair, in a white robe. Behind her are the paint brush and palette she paints the universe with. She's rather short and has rosy cheeks.

Death is a skeleton in a black robe, which appears to be continually disintegrating at the hem line. Behind him lay his scythe and scroll of names.

Between Life and Death is the hourglass that serves as the source of time for the entire universe, an item that's most commonly carried by Death, but which is part of the work of both of them.

The artwork is cartoonish, with some bushes and a tree that has one red piece of fruit dangling from it. The scene is looked upon by the sun, which frowns at everything.

(Right) The background is an image of some green bacteria with the following quote over the top:

"I think I'll call it Ted."

"Ted? You want to name micro-organism Ted? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Ted."

"Alright, I just thought Bob would fit better."

The cover of Scarlet Eye: She Consumes Poison, by Owen Tyme.

The perspective if from the darkness within a mouth with long fangs, the teeth appearing as a dark silhouette along the top and bottom. The background is a scene centering on a factory polluting the environment, putting out smoke and dumping chemicals into water. The water includes fish skeletons, to demonstrate how deadly the chemicals are. There are also some dead trees in frame, further hinting at the deadliness.

The foreground is a rather good looking and shiny red apple, which has the black silhouette of a spider on it, an indication of its hidden, toxic nature.

In the background is a red, orange and white nebula.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior is red, with an appearance similar to stained glass.

(Right) In the background is a red and orange galaxy, with a blue core, which bears a resemblance to an eye. It has the following text over it:

“First you turn my dog against me, then you steal my ship’s core? What’s next, pulling my teeth?”

“We didn’t ask for this! You attacked us! Why don’t you just let us go?”

“I might as well cover myself in tartar sauce, then go swimming in shark infested waters! My lieutenants would tear me to shreds, just the same!”

AT THE SCOTT EXHIBITION, EDINBURGH FESTIVAL
Iain Crichton Smith

He will outlast us, churning out his books,
advocate and historian, his prose
earning him Abbotsford with its borrowed gates,
its cheap mementos from the land he made.
Walking the room together in this merciless
galaxy of manuscripts and notes
I am exhausted by such energy.
I hold your hand for guidance. Over your brow
the green light falls from tall and narrow windows.
His style is ignorant of this tenderness,
the vulnerable angle of your body
below the Raeburn with its steady gaze.

It was all in his life, not in his books
‘Oh I am dying, take me home to Scotland
where I can breathe though that breath were my last.’
He limped through an Edinburgh being made anew.
He worked his way through debts, past a dead wife.
My dear, we love each other in our weakness
as he with white grave face diminishing through
stroke after stroke down to the unpaid room.
We know what we are but know not what we will be.
I tremble in this factory of books.
What love he must have lost to write so much.

$The cover of Rowley's Ride, by Owen Tyme. The central image is a ghostly electric guitar composed mostly of blue and white light, with a metal plate covering a fair bit of the main body. The guitar has a bright and shiny aura, almost like electricity, though the non-metallic portions are transparent. The background is a fractal arrangement of stained-glass panels., in various shades of red.$

Writers: here are ten free and easy ways to add a dash of visual interest to your blog posts without resorting to AI imagery (which signals to readers that your blog post is probably also AI and there’s no need to bother reading it):1) A thoughtful photo you’ve taken yourself — a nice sunrise you saw, a cool angle spotted on vacation, your pet curled up on the couch, flowers. Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person. 2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page</a>3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page">https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page</a>5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde 6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens 7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure 8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6 9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: <a href="https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D">https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D</a> and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets <a href="https://www.mapeditor.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.mapeditor.org</a>10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post. <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/writingcommunity/" rel="tag">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="/tags/collage/" rel="tag">#collage</a> <a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#blog</a>

A pink, purple and soft blue collage created with paper and stickers I had lying around my room: a little robot mascot from Ace Attorney is advising “You don’t need to be ‘a good artist’ to create a unique and interesting image for your blog.”

(Left) The cover of The Most Powerful Words, by Owen Tyme, which consists of a temperate forest path in twilight, with a tree on the right side, which hangs over the path. At the base of the tree is a translucent, blue slime monster, with shiny, black eyes that give it a somewhat cute appearance, while the shadow that's visible at its base almost looks like a big mouth. The air has an almosty golden look, because there's a hint of fog in it. The cover is framed with beveled stone.

(Right) The background is a bookcase with three shelves that are filled with old-looking books. Some have bookmark ribbons that stick off the edge, adding a little color. The books are largely brown, with ribbed spines. The following quote is laid over it:

“There are words so powerful, they can shake the foundations of reality or alter the fate of the world.”

“The most powerful words of all can change a man’s heart and mind about old, incorrect beliefs.”

Ebook and paperback: <a href="https://books2read.com/PrincessOfKurg" rel="nofollow">https://books2read.com/PrincessOfKurg</a>Having collected the fragments of the magic city of Kurg from her home planet, Nicole turns her gaze upward, to the stars, soon coming into conflict with gun-slinging snails, aliens, the dragon she raised from an egg, some really annoying monkeys with crossbows and even fairies, all without decent sleep.<a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/author/" rel="tag">#author</a> <a href="/tags/indieauthor/" rel="tag">#indieauthor</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#scifi</a> <a href="/tags/sciencefiction/" rel="tag">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="/tags/sff/" rel="tag">#sff</a> <a href="/tags/sciencefantasy/" rel="tag">#sciencefantasy</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#scifi</a> <a href="/tags/actionadventure/" rel="tag">#actionadventure</a> <a href="/tags/fiction/" rel="tag">#fiction</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>

The cover of Princess of Kurg, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a spiral galaxy with a pink color, which has been divided into hexagonal jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Near the top is an attractive woman's face framed by light blond hair that's almost colorless. She has blue eyes and looks directly ahead. Around the edges of her face, she fades away, allowing the background to be seen to either side of her head.

Below her is a group of seven hexagonal brassy coins arranged in a circular fashion, each showing a different scene at the center.

The central coin shows blood spatter on a black background. The top one has a red-haired fairy with insect wings, in a dress that looked like an upturned red flower. She stands in a forest with glowing points of light along the forest floor. Upper right shows the eye of a pink-scaled dragon. Lower right shows a monkey in a tree, eating a banana. The bottom shows a white swan floating in water, beside a reflection of the moon. Lower left is a smiling snail with little red hearts near its head. Upper left displays an alien saucer ship beaming someone into it, presumably an abduction in progress.
