Next contest to involve ZA4M 3 cover, plus ZA4M 3 cover talk

While the one contest is not done yet (only 3 weeks left!) we now have news of what to expect from the next contest! The next contest involves the unseen Cover art for the next ZA4M book where contestants bring color to the cover (which will be available for copy in black and white) basically, they will color up their idea of what the cover should be colored like. Then whoever colors the best will receive an amazing prize! And yes, there will be a First, Second, and Third place winner this time. And why do I keep saying color??? It's an ART contest!

Also, relatively big news about just what similarities and changes will abound in the third and final cover art for the third book:

  • The look will be very different from the first two. The first two books showed our four heroes (and Krazy on the second one) standing on some kind of hill fighting off Zombie waves with an Atomic explosion in the background, Tom West tried to make the third cover very similar but in the end it just didn't look very good.
  • It will obviously say the title of the book. (Many thought it would be simply called "ZA4M 3" but it will be called by its full title: "Zombies and 4 Morons 3")
  • It will show Hat's head in the background with perhaps Krazy and other things, Then it will show the main four protagonists Shrew, Geoff, Craig, and Tom in front of, but not in the way of Hat's face.
  • On the bottom it will show the Zombie Lord in his new look, surrounded by many Zombies with the Zombie and SCB flags mounted behind them.
  • It will have the captions of the companies that helped represent and release the book, the two companies being STAT and GeekBeerz, however it will not caption the names of the cast members like the last two did. Tom West believes that every character that was inspired by real life people have had their characters at their best in this final book, and with a big cast it would be hard to put all their names on the top of just one cover.

As for the color, that will be for you guys to decide when the next contest is active! Until next time...
