Decisions, Decisions... ChrysaLight artwork poll · 9:58pm Jan 9th, 2015
ChrysaLight, Twysalis... I can't decide. Wanna know something else I can't decide on? Cover art, that's what!
I'm working on a one-shot, slowly but surely, and I need to pick cover art. Lately I've been assembling my own from re-used vectors, but this time I didn't find any I liked. Instead I took Anonymoose's route and stole some from the IDW comics. I made some slight edits to them, and here we go.
Without giving too much away, Chrysalis is pestering a grumpily perturbed Twilight with jokes so bad they make a Vogon poetry reading sound preferable.
Preferences?
1!
Definitely, definitely 1.
#1 LotR reference?
I would also say #1, just because the other two feel edited (difference in thickness of font (but that could be my fault)). But I like the joke in #2 more and #3 feels more like a cover-art for a Chrysalight-fic.
Seriously, the Chrysalis arc of the comics was flawless. Artwork, voices, everything was spot-on.
Also I'm totally borrowing Anonymoose's Chrysalis. Once I'd read This Date and the sequel, there was no going back.

1 was taken straight from the comics, except for editing out Pinkie's head.

It's possible. The IDW comics are superb at working in more references than you can shake a stick at.

2 and 3 were text-edited, yes, and I did it with the first free downloadable comic font I found, so it's not an exact match for the existing text. I'd have done better to delete all the comics text and re-type it in matching fonts, but I was doing this at work and didn't have time to get fancy. 2 and 3 do fit the "feel" of the story a little better.
I vote for 3.
I too vote number 1. Is cute.
I vote #3, it just feels more like cover-art. Barring that #2.
Although, have you considered trying some of these images with no dialogue at all?
EDIT: And I really need to check the date on these posts before responding to them, it looks like.
