    Not sure if good cover...or horrible.

    Working on a cover for the second in a series:

    This is my cover for the first one: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...SH20_OU01_.jpg

    This was the idea for the second: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-djdALAgDIg...King+Cover.jpg

    Not sure if fluid or icky? I've gotten a bit of grump from a few folks on a face feature, thinking I should keep it more abstract but I'm not sure.

    Input greatly appreciated ^^!

    I like the first one, Sieryn. The second one is OK, but I don't like it as much, probably because of the face in it. Just my opinion.

    I like them both, except for the fact that you used Papyrus as the font.

    Yeah, the font isn't great. Also, you want to brand your name, so make it bigger and move it to the top.

    I like the 1st... Looks pro.

    The 2nd appears a bit amateurish to me.

    I'd buy it! The cover for your second is great, IMHO. It reveals angst but also a strong female. I like, I like!

    I don't care for too much abstract. This gives just a hint w/o overwhelming me.

    Both of them are pretty good. Although, I like the first one more than the second one.

    The first one is definitely better.

    Maybe you could use the second as a variant cover?
