Second draft of XNPC 2's cover.

[CountVanBadger]

I just got the second draft of the cover for XNPC: Gehenna's Rest. I'm mostly fine with it, but I asked for a few changes. What do you all think?

My changes:

1. Can she make the girl in the middle's lips a little smaller?

2. Can she make Jeremy's (the one on the left) expression a little harder? Like, maybe having him clench his teeth or something?

3. Can she make Jeremy's grip on the axe stronger?

4. Can she make "Gehenna's Rest" bigger so that it can be easily read as a thumbnail on the internet?

Logo is blurry/unsharp.

Aside from that, it looks cool! Like it.

If I were nitpicky and would stare at it for 30 seconds, I could say that the glaive and the throwing axe are pretty small and have weird proportions. Glaive should be longer, and the axe looks really strange. Neither a throwing axe nor a classical axe.

Hmm... this cover is honestly beautiful. But for some reason, I prefer the old style. This is just my opinion.

What old style?

...?

Does the FL really have a disembodied head floating above her armor?

She's a Dullahan

Yknow, the weird proportion of some things here kinda threw me off. But, another second of stare just made me feel at ease. Because hey, those flaws could just be quite the charm instead. I like it.

Better make the head floating little bit lower bro, it looks like emoticon if the head float that high.
I love the concept.

If it's any lower, it'll look like it's just attached to her neck.

I think its great, very professional!

My one nitpick: The dullahan. If you know that the character is a dullahan, you see it, it makes sense visually. If you don't, its a little confusing.

I think there are three changes, I would suggest.

-head is a fraction too large, I would make it smaller
-the lighting is a little flat on the face compared to the other characters
-(this one is more difficult and dependa on your story) maybe some type of effect around the base of the head? Or the armor? Like fire, smoke, haze ect.

BUT. That said. Overall its a strong cover.
