Which cover do you think is more effective?

I drew two versions of my book cover. One is the MC by herself, and the other is the MC with her three adventuring companions.

I like the first one because the MC’s face is easier to see in a thumbnail. In the second cover, everyone is so tiny that it’s difficult to determine anything about them.

However, I like the second one because I think there’s something inherently more interesting about seeing a group of characters together. It conveys to the reader that this story is not just about the MC, but also about their relationships with other characters.

I did the drawings in Clip Studio. If you have any constructive criticisms of my art style or typography you want to share, that would be fine, too.
