I just made the best cover of my life, and I need opinions?

It's okay.

But don't sell yourself short, I am sure you will one day make an even better cover.

Maybe only have the eye be red, and the hair be white/gray?
Otherwise it is leagues above anything I could make.

 

[Bartun]

Nice!

 

[Indicterra]

I gonna be honest here.

The body doesn't match the head, there is something wrong with propotion, as if the head was cut from third source and pasted on the body

I think that could be somewhat fixed if the red part of the hair was grey, and there was shade on the face.

OK my boss?

thank you, next time I will apply the corrections

I would suggest either sticking with just black, white, and red (the Sin City look, I guess), or adding the glowing blue somewhere else.

And I think the reason the head does not QUITE mesh with the body is due to the lack of cross-hatching (not sure if it's supposed to be hair or just uneven shadows) on the face, making it look "flat" compared to the more "dynamic" and "rounded" body

The tip of the nose is missing. Review Northern Kentucky Drawing Database on YouTube - noses.

The terminator edges of the shadow shapes are absent on the face.

Turn of bevel/emboss. The 3Desq text doesn't fit right with the cover. Beyond that it looks nice.

 

[Wlel]

Fantastico! But the head and hair are kinda out of place. Or it might just be my imagination—nevertheless, it is a solid one.

 

[AncestorDuck]

The proportions are off. The left shoulder looks weird, as do the color and the head. However, the idea looks interesting.

Try to change the color or the style of the title "A journey to nothingness"


Bc in term of psychology, it distract the eyes of your goal of the catchy eye/hair and diminish the effect even.
And in crude words, there is also the problem it gives a "cheap off" bc of the quality of the title.
Not just bc its NOT done in serious well written black-white like in LNs, but bc its central, trying too much to be seen like a "look at me senpai !!!", but also bc you implemented a curved style, and it seems like a LooneyToons title.


Btw..........................................................why the fck the body of the guy so jacked and oversized compared to head.
Not accusing you of it (as i reserve my doubts for now), but some people will feel that you copypasted the head on the body of someone else.

(Body is realistic but suddenly animestyle on head? its kinda a jiffy feeling, its like the muscle anime guy but worse/worse not in size but bc the guy in anime at least got consistency that its a joke and his whole style is similar)

Also only now i found out the blue shiny blue "OF" in flash neon color. Its bad. No one use this stuff.



tldr :
Do something about the body + change the title style/quality.
There is potential but sadly you tried too much to be edgy. Restrain it and it would be fine. Less edgy is sometimes more badass than too much. (over-sexualization is bad for example (Ilulu for example in Kobayashi dragon maid))

I like it.

Thanks for the opinion, yes I will take it into account, but, the flat is for lack of shadows on the head, it didn't make much sense to add it seeing the direction of the light, but the nose and all that, after the added effects I didn't see much problem, but well.... and my intention was to catch the viewer with the red color, as one of the alert colors, then the eye of the character, the body(the illustration in general) and then the title, I spend a lot of time designing, I do not like colors and I do not have much time to write so this may have some mistakes, but I'll keep this one until I feel like making corrections. I hope to answer your questions, and thank you.
