I have come up with two versions of cover art for the 2nd arc of my story.
I wanted to capture Natalie's dilemma in separating Herald from her brother, in finally accepting Herald as himself and not Nathan. Not that in the story she demanded Herald be Nathan, but Nathan's ghost had always been there. The second arc is where both of them accepts the reality of how their relationship began and choose to build something on that foundation.
Version 1 is done digitally.
Version 2 is where I combine my pencil art of Herald and Nathan with the digital art of Natalie superimposed over it. I wanted to use the grainy nature of the pencil work to visualize Natalie's internal landscape.
Which do you think is better?
