I'm surprised that you haven't given us pictoriogram imagery of your stars as yet. Or at least some neat cover art for those of us (cough - me) who added this whole series as an audio book to their (cough - my) iPhones!

I have thought about producing some cover art, but have no idea what goes into that. Perhaps I should find some online tutorial or something on what goes into that.

And yeah, I should really see about getting some artwork for this; my own style doesn't really suit this kind of narrative, I think, so I've spoken to a friend of mine whose style would be perfect for it. She keeps saying she'll do it, but a combination of technical difficulties and her own easily-distracted nature prevents her from getting around to it.

Maybe I should make a post asking if anyone with a kind of cartoony style feels like contributing. As of today, I have 200 people who have friended me (a milestone!), and I suspect at least some of them must be capable of it.

200? Hooray! Your existence is justified!

The cover art should be simple - why would you need a tutorial, unless I'm missing something? Wouldn't it just be a case of drawing something awesome that comes to mind for a book/album cover for CotRK?

It's mostly a question of how to connect the art to the MP3; there's some kind of embedding or something I need to figure out, I think.

Ah! I see what you mean. In Winamp, you can right-click the file (or batch of files) and select 'view file info' and add the cover there.

In iTunes, you can do something rather similar, too.

If you like, I could organise it for you if you supply the arts?
