I am currently writing a fanfiction (a crossover between Nanoha and Madoka, titled IrregularS), and I am posting it on The Pit. (Yeah, sometimes it's useful)
Seems that soon there will be the possibility for adding cover images to the fics, and I like the idea very much.
The problem is, I am as good at drawing as a five-years-old.
So, is there anyone willing to do it for me?
But I don't know either Nanoha or Madoka. So if you have any good reference pictures, I could really use some.
Here what was my idea: Nanoha and Homura in the foreground, back to back, with weapons out and Walpurgisnacht in the background
Nanoha Takamachi (I'm using 9-years-old nanoha as reference, as otherwise she would look much older than Homura):

Walpurgisnacht background:
Mind that there should be enough image under waist level of the two girls in order to put this logo without covering important part of the image (their faces and their weapons, mainly)

If you think that following these guideline is too complex, you're free to change whatever doesn't work. Enough google-fu should provide you with enough images of both characters.
The cover images show up at something like 75X100 pixels, so something complicated won't really show up. (I'm annoyed by this new feature, personally.)
Geez, even chibis would be hard to fit in there...
You can use pictures that are a 6x9 ratio, and they scale it down. So what you're thinking might work, it'll just be tiny.

It wouldn't look good either.
I think I'll leave it without cover, or I'll do a little logo or something.
Thank you for the disponibility, anyways.
