You might try re-texturing the back wall, it looks more like it's in an office building than a space ship. Or the back wall is one big marble slab, not something you usually see in space...

There are some free Sci-Fi scenes that might give you a "space ship bridge" feeling, linked here: https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.o...../Scenes/Indoor

Like this one: http://www.sharecg.com/v/40595/

Or this one: http://www.sharecg.com/v/81044/

Of course, you still want something that lets the text be readable...

Yeah, being able to add the text was why I just enlarged one of the 'ship hallways' from earlier.

in this case.

Replacing the white/marbled part with a light gray plastic texture or light colored metal shader might be enough to make it appear less like a building wall...

OK

Nice view! And heeeeeee chakitten!

That was the idea, poor old Neal saddled with chakats and other furry critters - or is it poor chakats and other furry critters saddled with Neal?

The cover of course is to get someone to stop and look and chakittens be different enough to possibly do that.

I'm still trying to clean it up so I don't get dozens of errors converting the file into something for the kindle and other e-readers to handle.

(I still think something/someone on Bright Hope should have been named "Norm" for the pun.)

For non-pro work, it looks darn good. (Meaning pros can make them look like photos of real life.)

The IRay can too to a degree, but most of that type of detail will be lost by the formats. On to figuring out chapter breaks and other fun.

The Chakat in the background somehow does not look so grumpy/displeased anymore (merely sceptical).
It took me quite a while to figure out why: the head is turned slightly aside. Full frontal kittyface tends to look grumpy (same with teddybears).

Yeah, played with lots of little things, next will be a whole front/back cover as at least one person says they want my silly writing as a book!

Wow, am I late to the game...

You may want to work on the hair shading. Without the use of a fur and hair package for Daz (I think there is one, and it's relatively inexpensive), this might not be easy; If you know how to use normal maps, you might be able to fake it well enough so that it doesn't look like plastic, and rather jarring.

I'm thinking of revamping it when I'm ready to do one for chapter two (and do front/back covers for 'print on demand'.)
