*gasps*

Wow.

You are just the BOSS of covers. Seriously.

The boss? Really? A Sacher-Masoch Venus-in-Furs kind of boss?

Watch out for JPG. xxoo

Whoa! Gives me the chills.

Excellent.

Chills! Wonderful! And, thank you.

The cover is the best, jed! You have a real talent for capturing the key moments of the story without actually giving it all away.

Fantastic.

*awed*

Thank you so much! I'm always hoping to provide enough story-specific visuals to make someone want to read the story in question, but not to ruin it for them, so I'm glad you think I'm succeeding at this.

Holy fuck, the hypodermic butterfly may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Whoa.

[identity profile] velvetglove.livejournal.com 2003-12-19 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool, too ;)

I've been meaning to comment on the covers you've been doing, but now I'm glad I waited, because this is just wonderful--maybe the best so far. The curves of light, the syringe as the body of the butterfly, the richness of the background coloring, and Clark whispering so desperately in Lex's ear. Just swoonworthy.

Thank you! I think this one turned out especially well, also ;) Some of them seem to want more illustrative images, others more interpretive, and this one just turned out...nice. Yeah, I'm happy with it.

Great cover, out*stand*ing choice of story. For me, this is the defining story for the whole fandom.

Thank you! And although I've never thought about a "defining" story one way or the other, I'd probably agree with your assessment. The whole will-to-power/nature vs. nurture story made Supes-relevant in just a few pages.

awesome, jed. AWESOME!!

(yes i am so good with words. lol.)

Hee! Thank you!

This may be my favorite cover you've done. Because... wow. Just utterly disturbing, and beautiful and absolutely perfect for the story.

I'm in serious awe.

[identity profile] velvetglove.livejournal.com 2003-12-19 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I really like this one, too. It's rare that a story has something sinister hinted at, so I wanted to be sure to highlight that. Because I am at least as sick as you are ;)

Dang girl.

This cover is beautiful, disturbing and erotic. You've done a wonderful job of incorporating the elements of the story into this cover!

[identity profile] velvetglove.livejournal.com 2003-12-19 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with it myself! There aren't that many opportunities for incorporating seas of blood when making art for Clex stories, so I was rather happy to have the chance to, well, make a sea of blood. Good times.

Wow. You are seriously blowing me away. I feel like GU isn't good enough for one of these gorgeous things!

[identity profile] tobyfan.livejournal.com 2003-12-20 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Gorgeous! I love the word shadows.

[identity profile] isagel.livejournal.com 2003-12-21 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, lovely! This is still one of my absolute favourite SV stories, and the cover does it perfect justice. Wonderful.

Also, just because - *hugs*
