Cover Thumbnails

1a or 2b, but I did love the old covers, I liked the amount of detail and it was what attracted me to the original comic. That is just my 2 cents though.

B1. I like 1 & 2 because you see more of her clothes style, which tells you more about the character and the setting. 2 draws attention to a blank space, though. I felt like column A was easier on the eyes, but column B is striking, which is good for a book cover. It has great contrast and would look snazzy on glossy.

I realize I’m late to the feedback party, but if you’re still looking for additional thoughts, here are a few of mine! Like most of the other commentators, I lean towards the B column — the light on dark makes the images pop more — with the text especially; it gets lost a bit on the light background — and really brings a noir feel to the images. Of the three in the B column, I like 1B the best. 3B is cute, but I think 1B has a better balance in terms of space and composition, and I like seeing more of Ivy and her delightful clothing. I love Ivy’s pose in and the overall feel of 2B — it feels the most like a cover for this kind of book — and I love a good use of negative space; but as someone else mentioned, I think there’s a bit too much of it—it feels like something should be in that space, especially because she’s pointing to it. That much negative space I think would be fine I think on a back cover — actually, yeah, i think it’d be perfect for the back cover — but it’s a bit too much on the front given how the rest of the piece is composed. So I really like 2B for a back cover (or inside cover? maybe?) concept but I lean towards 1B for the front — but really, I don’t think you could go wrong developing anything from the B column!

I think 3B looks best.

1B is the most pleasing to my eyes, but they're all lovely compositions! Happy to see that all the input has been helping you :D

Wow. I really thought it was going to be a square shaped book and all nine illustrations would be on there. That would be a nice visual for the one looking for tutorials.

3B is my fave. Love the sakura petals, and Ivy's expression. She's always been my favorite Lackadaisy.

2b is my favorite, I like the negative space on the right

3 is the cutest, but I like 2b as a cover design most

I'm gonna be contrary... 'cause I really like 3B!

I'm torn between 1B and 2B. Like others have suggested, I like the dark background. But I also like seeing more of Ivy's body. I think most people who are looking at this book will already be familiar with your comic, but if I was a new person, I think the full body tells me a little more. If there isn't much going to be in the space on the right in 2B, then my vote would be 1B.
