I heard about Frogtown over the years, but never have seen it.
The more recent iteration of Dune was somewhat of an inspiration (the Turgid Kingdom’s stronghold was somewhat like the desert planet stronghold in my mind), though I do feel that this idea sprang to mind after seeing Pixar’s film Lightyear, given that it was somewhat of an homage to old-school science fiction.
The big goal os to not over-explain things, but to give the reader just enough description in order to use their imagination.
Alright, so generally speaking I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to reading this, but I wanted to say you got some stellar cover art going for you. Giving that old Scholastic style some love - at least that’s what it looks like to me.
The style was to go with the look of a 1970’s paperback science fiction story.
Went over a number of different cover styles, and then this one felt just right.
The font for the title was a happy accident, and had certain shapes that felt just right for the story.
I like some of the stories to have covers that fit with certain story styles. Like The Expansive Romance of Applebloom and Coral Lead, was meant to emulate a romance novel cover.
This kinda reminds me of that low rated movie called: Trouble in Frogtown. That, and mix that with Dune from the 1980’s.
