Which Cover would be more suited for Tweens and Teens (Target Market), I want your feedback

[Jayrayme6]

I might make Text bigger on the first picture, so people can see it on small thumbnail.
I commisioned the first cover according to my vision to a fiverr artist.

definitely the dark castle. Teens and tweens are edgy, they like darker depictions over some painting. Now, it the comic one was cleaner and not done in a painting style, then that would win. But the dark castle simply looks better.

I would darken the red font and maybe make it a bit smaller, tho, cuz the second half of the sentence is sorta hard to make out

1 looks cooler but it needs to be polished

If we’re being honest here, busty anime waifu on cover trumps all and wins ten times out of ten among horny, always in heat, teens these days. You either sell your soul to the devil or keep your pride. You can choose one or the other.

I have said many times a cover without anime tiddies is worthless. Even the eyes in my 'The Path' cover are in fact clever symbolism for anime breasts.

Yeah I believe so but I can't really explain it to the fiverr artist. Maybe because it's too blurry? there should be more details for the fire.

Could also be an inside view of testicles. Too far apart for breasts.

The painting style in #1 doesn't work at all. Even though it's a burning village, the style makes it look like something intended for a young reader audience of elementary school age.

So, it's the dark castle cover just by process of elimination for the fact that the burning village cover is out and totally does not work for the target audience at all.

The castle looks more polished, but 1 could look great if you commissioned and artist to redo it.

Shut up. It's symbolism you philistine. Also balls are way more close together than breasts.

Not when you take proportionate sizes into account.

The left one seems more appropriate for children eleven and under. A proper x-teen year old might find the castle more appealing.
