fake book covers based on Cub’s museum gift shop and the signs he posted with fake book titles! This was a lot of fun haha. I know there are more fake books, and now he’s getting signed books from hermits, so I plan on making more soon! May even make a Reddit account just to post these guys on the subreddit
design notes under cut!
The Diamond Pillar Saga: Hotguy(TM) Flies Again - this title evoked such a visceral image of something you’d find in a Scholastic book fair so I went for sort of pre-teen superhero action novel, the kind with a bunch of pictures and stupid chapter titles. I imagine in-universe Scar is trying to sell as much Hotguy merch as possible so whilst he has stuff for the adults (shirtless calendars) he’d also have comic books and novels for the kids. There’s a concorp logo because I like to think the Hotguy brand is owned by concorp and it was just a cool touch
Grian’s Theory of The Mind - have you ever seen books on like psychology and breaking habits and behaviour, that kind of stuff? They always look like this. There’s a yellow background, a simple abstract design, a bunch of book awards/reviews, and a single sentence hook. This one was the easiest and most fun to design!
Joe Hills: Transformative Poems - this was based on the “Joe Hills Poetry Corner”. Transformative poems is from “transformative works” meaning… fanfiction basically. Joe has written fanfic before and I thought an Iliad/Hermit crossover would be something he’d do. Joe made the cover himself so it has a dyed leather cover and a simple design. He tried to ask Cleo for a review so he could put one on the front but she was kinda mean about it and laughed at him so he wrote a fake one instead
Ren the King: A Complicated Legacy - this one had no explicit author but I decided Cleo made the most logical sense. Historical non-fiction books often have these B+W photo backgrounds with some dramatic, fancy text overtop, so I painted the Crastle and added then messed around with text. There’s a reduced sticker over Cleo’s name because this is Cub’s gift shop and he wouldn’t want to give her credit (but still wants to stock up his shop)

fake book cover for Zed’s “The Eel” book!
sketches of other books in Cub’s museum and some design notes under cut! :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted to upload these because I kinda lost motivation and don’t plan on finishing them, but I thought people would be interested in seeing the WIPs anyway! Maybe I’ll come back to them, who knows.
The Eel - inspired by children’s books, obviously! Zed is quite an accomplished children’s book author, known for the “Aerial Sheep Service Chronicles” (ASS for short) and the superhero series “Wormman”. I thought it would be funny to have his book have a ridiculous amount of stickers on it, just seems like a Zedaph thing idk. The whole “where do eels come from” was inspired by a genuine scientific question that has only been recently answered.
DocM77: Redstone, Life & The Goats - this title immediately struck me as one of those biographical books written by like, tech CEOs or sportstars or whatever. Naturally, we have Doc posing shirtless for the camera, and some dramatic text overtop. Ren helped him write it since Doc reasons Ren has experience in literature and drama and whatnot. Ren actually doesn’t, but he has enthusiasm!
Cubfan135: The Man Behind The Chaos - since this is Cub’s shop, naturally it is decorated with a best book award. This book is written in third person but don’t let that fool you, Cub wrote it about himself entirely on his own. Compared to Doc’s, its less of a self-help life-retelling kinda thing and more just a list of all the cool things Cub has made in extreme detail.
Decked Out: Blueprints and Secrets - this is a book but its formatted very like a magazine, with little puzzles inside and maps and pretty pictures and what not. Its a promotional advert for the Decked Out 2 dungeon essentially, but is very cool and Decked Out 2 is cool so it has a bunch of sales.
