This is the cover that I'll likely use for my future Samurai Love Ballad Party fanfiction: Afterlife. (I love Saizo so much ;-; )

Apps used: Picsart (Gold), Phonto

Images used

1. Picsart
I start by using image 1 as the background, positioning it so that the small moon is not present, and the black patch in the bottom-right is visible. Afterwards, I insert image 4—Saizo Kirigakure—onto the cover. I erased his hands above the black patch, to blend the image with the background. Image 4 is set to "Lighten" in the Blend option.

Then I added image 2 and 3 onto the cover. Image 2 is set to "Screen," while image 3 is set to "Lighten." I made sure to primarily use the clock image of image 3 and positioned it over the black patch. With the eraser tool, I erased part of the image so that it looks like its behind Saizo's head, while showing over his body. Image 2 is on the highest layer (layer 1) of the list.

2. Phonto
Afterlife font: Breathing
Everything else: Better Together Spaced

3. Picsart (Gold)
I have Piscart Gold activated, so I am able to use more effect options than usual(for now, at least...). There are two effects that I want to use, but I'm not sure which to pick from the two—most likely the first one tho.

If I didn't have Picsart Gold, I would've utilized the other effects on Picsart or use Polarr for a similar look. I'm blessed to have bought Nitro, so I'm using the 3-month free trial.

Final results

This is the first time I'm using a watermark, since I love the final result a lot.

I'll post this book eventually, but I am re-editing my old books at the moment. It'll take time since I have school, but hopefully I can finish them asap.
