Why is she holding a bowling ball of herself?
because she's a professional bowler. Its a litRPG with level ups for throwing more strikes in a row.
(kidding, couldn't help it)
I like how its a sort of crystal ball effect.
since its for an Isekai, it somehow conveys the two world idea.
And if she does something for the male gaze, then so much the better.
plus I wanted something other than just another anime cover.

@L1aei:
Well, L1aei.
Is it... kosher?
*lol*

That's actually a neat effect. 8/10, assuming she's some kind of smoke or wind or moon mage or whatever is happening in the background.

I'd prefer if it were anime-ish, but it be like that sometimes.

1. if you want a crystal ball effect than it should warp the reflection cause the ball is a curved shape and not a flat mirror
2. you could have added some glow around the crystal ball so that it doesn't look like a bowling ball or some kind of border to make it stand out from the background
3. I know it's fantasy, but my brain tells me the ball should either fall down or she has some super adhesive on her hands. Either way the holding pose looks extremely awkward for the size of the ball

waiting for all the know better to jump out and tell me I'm wrong

Looks a lot better.

Though personally, the gray bits look weird to me.
(and they have white lines on the sides anyway from not fully filling in the space)

Where would you want the title.
maybe double the stone face granite all at the bottom, and title/author both down there. or what.
I'm just playing around with it.
what were you thinking.
