Hello /cm/!

I have a question to ask.

I'm a fanartist, and I've decided to draw a doujin for my woefully underdoujinned fandom, specially for a friend of mine. It's going to be based on her fanfic, which is shounen ai.

Thing is, I don't want it to look like every other doujin cover ever: willowy bishounen lying in spindly pose gnawing on some bandages around his wrist (he's the uke), and maybe if we're lucky a slightly less willowy bishounen lying in a spindly pose with a cigarette (he's the seme).

I thought since the doujin experts all hang out here, they could help me come up with an original idea.

Can you show me a doujin cover that you like, and tell me why?

Because it's beautiful and fairly unique, as far as DJ's are concerned.

I like really Daisuke's pose and expression on this cover

Because it's got a lot of nice colours, that remain calm without being horribly eye-blinding white. The main character is in a full shot pose full of life, without being extreme, too simple or wierdly proposed. The text is put in freely without being the same old block at the top and/or bottom and the frame is different, yet fitting and letting the character in focus poke out over the sides, pointing more attention to him.

The character expression and pose are horribly ooc, but all in all, I like it.
