Current idea: POV shot of someone Lottie is looking at and talking to at an outdoor lunch table. Lottie is smiling and smoking while actively bleeding, rather like she's trying to flirt. In the background, all is chaos in Spooky High.

Underneath the body map on the paper is "CARPE VITAM" in bright, bold, contrasting human blood red, as if it has been written in it. The subtitle, "Or, How I Survived Arthur Pendragon's Personal Hell" is typed on the tag of the exposed toe.

Close shot from above of the lower half of a dead body mostly under a sheet in the morgue, creepy white-green lighting and all. Clipboard left on the legs has the forensic body map that shows every major injury Lottie gets throughout the book, especially the fatal ones.

Also difficult because I thought I had the *perfect* concept for the end cover of CV all planned out in my head until I remembered it would do absolute 0% to sell it as as the erotic romance-political-action-thriller it is

I'm STILL trying to find an artist for a character lineup that's
1. Open for commissions
2. Willing to be associated with the kinks
3. Has an artstyle that fits with the vibe
4. Can do a 7 character lineup at prices that won't have me eating ramen for a month
5. I have money during all of the above

I have no experience on finding artists.
The closest I came was when I updated Carpe Vitam to also be an original work, and 30 seconds later I get a bot comment offering to turn it into a graphic novel.

if you're worried about purity tests start passing them you fucking goon

Maybe write an Issue 1 spec script and see if anyone in the fandom is itching for something to draw?

Orange Crush played over the radio when I worked at Walmart, so points against
Plus I like the lyrical avalanche of It's The End of The World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) way too much

Carter was absolutely our least evil postwar president and it's not even close
