I remember finding this very odd when I used to own some, actually. But to that end, here's the .png to what I ended up making to come up with the final image for my second-ever fic cover. <br /><br /><center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xuuGwf8.png"></center> <br /><br />And here's the fic cover, though it's on the post immediately below this one, too. Because I need attention. (And we could say for example.) <br /><br /><center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/goon2sg.png"></center><br /><br /><b>Note:</b> I've been using GIMP on this new computer, and the layer mode that I settled on for the added layer was <b>"Grain Merge"</b>. If your image editor doesn't have that, <b>Soft Light</b> is always a favored stand-by that's available on most. This layer is already tweaked to transparency somewhat.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=prixmium&ditemid=11874" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
