So, here I was being offline on everything including social media cause why not and thought of updating my original cover for APOCALYPSE which was this:

Very bad but I thought it was good two weeks ago -- anyway, here is the updated version with steps (I skipped the first few cause I knew that it would be the most boring and I didn't decide to show how I did it until an 1 hour into the project (it took a total of 5 hours with breaks)).

Step 1 (get all of your manipulation together and manipulate until you are at this stage):

Step 2 (replace the model):

⬇️

Step 3 (add moon):

⬇️

Step 4 (text with affects):

Step 5 (add book 1 and some comments about book; also darken the cover so it isn't too bright):

Step 6 (adding border):

Step 7 (topaz in the lowest setting that is still noticeable):

No psds needed.

With psd:

Too dark and unable to see what book number it is or what the title is called.

I want to dedicate this to AmpleGate who was there with me the entire time I was making this trying to calm me down by distracting me for two and a half hours by watching Captain America Civil War (I GOT THE DVD); damn sleepovers, can never get things done at a reasonable time even though it did give me motivation.
