Wer hat die Umschlaggestaltung/Coverart deiner Bücher erstellt? Unveröffentlichte: Was möchtest du auf dem Cover deines Buches haben?

Wenn es soweit ist soll es die Ghoz'Tarc aufs Cover schaffen, ausgearbeitet von einem Kunstschaffenden Menschen mit den Fähigkeiten Raumschiffe detailreich auszuarbeiten, vielleicht noch 1-3 Charaktere Kira, Ariæne und ein Eltaryn vielleicht?
Sterne im Hintergrund oder ein Nebel (eventuell eher auf der Rückseite)

Das Schiff "fliegt" von rechts nach links mit einer vertikalen/horizontal leicht gekippten Achse so dass es plastisch wirkt. Links dann der Kopf von Kira dessen Blick der Richtung der Ghoz'Tarc folgt, rechts der von Ariæne der entgegengesetzt der Richtung von Kira guckt, dahinter, über beiden wie eine Krone des Unheils das Gesicht eines Eltaryn, frontal auf die lesenden fixiert.

Naja erstmal nur Hirngespinste bis ich endlich soweit bin.

Week 19, October 5-11:
Characters
Who's your creepiest, gothiest, or most monstrous character? Give us a taste!

Apple cider with a squint of lemon...

Do unexplainable blue gorillas in scrap armor & weapons that look like Superman farted over a junkyard, if they are shooting on sight, are 3-6 meters tall, scream like the incredible Hulk, if he really gets angry & fight like King Kong who gets tortured by planes, count?

Or do you prefer the other blue ones the Insectoid meets Xenomorph cousins, that communicate via his noises.

Rillas & Roaches that often attack together & don't seem connected any other way besides fighting everything & turning into grey dust after being defeated.
Entire cities have become grey piles of "ash" for the lack of a better word, before the remains shattered in the wind, gone only leaving death & destruction behind.

Dear readers this are the Eltaryn.
*Bows down & leaves*

This should be it.

709 Tell us how your MC and antagonist (or villain) know each other.

Everyone knows the BBEGs the Eltaryn, it seems that the fewest species and worlds haven't been hit at least once by their crusade (?) against other species. Throw a stone & you will probably hit someo who can tell a story about the "blue 'rillaz & roaches."

Ariaene (AJ) & Kira meet on the mission area from time to time & so far Ariaene could evade capture, all Kira knows their is this androgynous person that always shows up where they shouldn't & despite wearing older Alliance gear does not communicate or cooperate & even acts hostile at times. For AJ Kira ist a nuisance.

Ash knows them through the encounter & Arkham only from stories/debriefings.

AI seems to know more than they let shine through but AJ doesn't seem to be interested.

The best protection Is not to get caught in it the wrong way do trust your Slyder (Slyde operator) /Pilot.

The Eltaryn
Seemingly 2 species, one Biomechanical Xenomorphic looking giant, different shades of blue to purple, 1-12 mtrs, cockroaches, spiders and crab like creatures with more appendices as a creature should have, the other 3-8 mtr tall, blue to purple, Mad Max style, bald gorillas. What they unite seems pure blood lust for everyone not am Eltaryn and they so not communice in any recognizable way. You can't capture them or study the corpses either because they always turn to grey dust. First drying rapidly out when captured or injured enough than breaking up like volcanic earth and than turn to dust, same goes for their ships, however if captured it takes some time till this starts usually 3-5 Minutes.
It's kill or be killed on sight.

631. What does your antagonist / villain do to relax?

Villains
The Eltaryn - No rest for the wicket their machinery doesn't seem to stop.

Antagonists
AI: The speaker stays silent so who knows.

AJ: depends on what they remember... Writing in their "diary."
Training on the shooting range.
Meditation or combat training.
It seems before they lost their coherence of and most of their memories they had a lot of stuff they did to relax.

611. 2 of 2 (I can only count to foooour! Sorry...)

The Eltaryn are also relatable for me from my time as an mobbing victim.
At least that I channel my anger and rage I felt back in the day into their destructive capabilities.
If you never had a mental break down in which you crashed everything that you liked you probably can't relate to this primal anger, this guttural rage that burns behind your eyes, drives your blood pressure up to record heights. That moment when just something snaps inside you, all the pressure that threatened to let your eyes pop out of their sockets, suddenly stream lines into pure, liquid, burning rage, that nothing has to stand in your way if it doesn't want to be smashed into pieces...

609 Can you tell us about a secret that your Antagonist/Villain is willing to take to the grave?

I could but I rather not cross the line of AI and hi's/her's/them's/it's henchfolk.
AI hasn't set up this whole spiel about themselves and only operating through agents and devices to have that spoiled before I even have written the story.

And for AJ they most likely wouldn't remember anyway and are still alive so it could be made a case for they don't seem to have one.

The Eltaryn don't speak any language we know of or that is translatable so nope either.

2/2 A rattling hissing joined the sound of its 'breath' as the body started to dry up and turning grey. It's most outer carapace broke giving insight into a greyish, fast drying goo. The body looked like broken stone, before it completely turned into greyish sand that was carried away by the wind. Only the slight feeling of steering into an abysmal mind remained on the group of Terrans that had fought it.

599 Antagonist/Villain POV: Is there a line that you’re unwilling to cross in order to get what you want?

1/2

Antagonists-
AI:"We shouldn't talk about lines one would not cross. You see survival is rarely honorable & your Terrans Geneva Convention only held 200 years before it turned into a checklist... There are plenty of lines in the sand, but in the end it's just sand & few lines in it remained, as the heat of battle glassed it."

AJ:"I do not discuss my moral code, I was raised by Union Standards that should tell you enough."

Villain(s):
The creature's eyeless head pointed towards the Terran as the hurt creature layed on the ground, for the severeness of the damage it was surprisingly quite, if it had eyes, it would probably have killed everything in it's view, an hissing, rhythmic 'breath' came from the giant insectoids body, it's 'mouth' drooling blue slime.
