Today I'll share with you how I make my object based covers. For the purpose of this tutorial, I am going to make this graphic, and I chose fantasy genre but the same process can be used for any other genre as well.
I used ibispaintx for this example and all resources are from pixabay. Font used is Desire font family.

On a separate layer, above the texture, add your object. I'm using a sword. Place it at the position of your choice, preferably in the middle so that it's the center of attention on the cover.
