      @TessaW Would #1 be better as a full-page interior illustration instead than a book cover? I do like the epicness of it, and without text you'd get the full effect of the castle in the fog.

        @carriecopadraws I love 3! Yes I think 1 would work better as an inside illustration.

          I love 3 as well..my focus is on the castle rather than the typeface. It's very exciting, even in black and white!

            @carriecopadraws I've been so excited to see what you do with this! I really like #3 - I agree with everyone that #1 would make a fantastic interior!

              I like the comp of 2 but the castle on 3. Good job!

                  @Nyrryl-Cadiz I think #3 just has such an easy read to it. I do like the composition in one so I like the idea of an interior for that one. That was a great idea.

                    #1 is very good: clear and appropriate, but I feel like I've seen it before. Besides, #3 is fantastic. a great silhouette and clean design! Hope that helps

                      Thanks everyone! #3 seems like the clear choice, with #1 as an interior illustration. I'm excited to go forward on this!

                        @carriecopadraws I think this is a great choice for the cover. You don't have to take this suggestion, but I'm wondering if the clouds/negative space could be an opportunity to be a second read (maybe it's a profile of one of the characters?). Either way, this is looking good. Edited: whoops. You're going with #3 -- my comments were regarding option #1.

                            @carriecopadraws Ooh! Exciting to see your progress on HMC. Makes me want to pick up a pen and start now too though I’m only halfway through the book (finally got it!).

                            I agree that #3 is the best cover design and the first would make a lovely interior art piece.
