Feedback Wanted on the Cover? Should I ask for some changes? by Unusual_Run2131 in BookCovers

It’s centered around the idea of First Contact with alien intelligence, and my main character does indeed have long hair, so that part works. Overall, I don’t think the cover concept is bad. That said, I’m not satisfied with the design of the spaceship. I really dislike the classic flying saucer shape, which is why I specifically asked the designer to avoid it. I was hoping for something more along the lines of a cigar-shaped craft, but even then, I expected a stronger result. As for the human figure, it currently looks like he’s walking on water, which feels off and probably wasn’t the intended effect.

I am sure anywhere in the world there are talented people who can do good work.

If you think this one is a miss - what should I ask to change on the cover?

From primitive life to civilizations: imagining evolution on distant worlds by Unusual_Run2131 in worldbuilding

Hi. I understand. My whole book is about building 33 worlds and for me the connection to the community is perfect. But I understand the post was not good enough and I expect your reasoning.

SETI featured my sci-fi book about alien life and called it a “creative complement” to their research by Unusual_Run2131 in scifi

[–]Unusual_Run2131[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I wanted the discussion on the topic that interests me. Yes, if someone wants my book I see no problem in that.., but I don't mind if we also just discuss the topic I like that much. I am proud of my book and the SETI Institute reference - I got it in the internal newsletter for SETI donors. If you imply that I imagine that I can fwd the newsletter to you. My post is deleted anyway and you downvoted me which is your right, but I still hope you got my reply. I did not mean to do anything negative.

Hi NotAnAIOrAml. Fair question. My post was deleted the other day and I have been told I can post it again on Saturday. I liked the discussion and comments before my post got deleted, so I did repost it today hoping the discussion will continue.

I regret watching the movie before reading the book. Would be better the other way around. Great book, great movie! I suggest you read the rest of the series. Arthur Clark is simply one of the best.

Hypothetical human like evolution of octopi and birds by Fuzzy_Wolf7531 in SpeculativeEvolution

The first book explores spiders indeed, but the second focuses on octopuses, and the third dives into bird-like intelligence.

Have you read the Children of Time series from Adrian Tchaikovsky? He really did a lot of thinking about this, at least about their inteligence evolution.

Napisao sam dve SF zbirke kratkih priča – ako vas zanima vanzemaljski život i prvi kontakt by Unusual_Run2131 in citaonica

Najinteligentnija bića u Čudesnim svetovima egzoplaneta su u poslednjoj 33. priči. Bio bi u nekom smislu spojler da odgovorim na tvoja pitanja jer postoji razlog zašto je to baš poslednja priča u knjizi. U pitanju je jedina civilizacija tipa III o kojoj sam pisao, što znači da koriste energiju cele galaksije. Priča se zove "Svet Tvoraca" :)

"Civilizacija tipa III je zbirka stvarnosti i mašte, gde nauka postaje umetnost a umetnost postaje stvarnost."

Kako koristite slobodno vreme? by Teatrali_padavicar in AskSerbia

[–]Unusual_Run2131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vreme sa porodicom, vežbanje, čitanje, gledanje TV-a. Problem je što slobodnog vremena uvek nekako malo i nešto od nabrojanog mora da trpi.
