Out Of Bounds covers.

Sanskritsanskritsanskrit... quiz tomorrow... memorizing paradigms... homework due... taking a break.

Phew.

Have a look at these gorgeous covers for Out Of Bounds created by [livejournal.com profile] teaphile. Which do I choose? The first expresses the jagged edges of the slow-build relationship, but the second has such a clear skating reference and focus on John with established relationship-feel of the latter (as yet unwritten) half of the fic. I love the hands and the jeans of the third, while the fourth is steamy -- and has plenty of room for the title. *is indecisive*

Help-?










Which one? (Elegant, aren't they?)

I think I prefer the first one (Ice! skate! profiles! half-open mouth! YAY), but each has its merits... The fourth one is great to write a title in and is hot (although the heads & chest don't really fit my idea of John & Rodney, and the pants of the skating guy arent't tight enough!), the third is just peaceful and warm (with a hint of hotness in the lacings!), and I like the skating guy on the second one but the position of the arms of the guy in green are justt a bit off to me...
You can still use all of them all through the fic, of course ;-)
And, finally, my opinion isn't worth much since I'm waiting for this fic to be finished before reading it, so... I only know it'sn ice-skating AU so far ;-)

Oh, your opinion of art is always valuable, whether you've read the story or not. Great observations, and I agree, I'm leaning towards the first one.
