      Hello everyone, I'm exited to share with you my progress of painting this Cover art. Thanks for the feedback that you gave me on the thumbnail.
      I have done the "line art" that will be used in the final images, and I also did a B&W test on how my lights will work in the scene. I have already done the Flat-ing for the Characters and different planes, so they will be easier to selection during painting process... and I`m about to start paint!
      Your feedback is greatly appreciated,
      Thanks and have Fun Painting on your own OZ!

          Love these character designs. The only critique I could see would be that it feels a little heavier on the right-hand side because of the Lion and "OZ," but that's if I had to be picky. Really like it!

            Thank you @Coley & @JoshuaDages , I think I will balance it our with some flowers on the left side, so it wont feel heavier on the Right side.

            Here is a quick update. which one would work best, the classical blue sky background or #2 or #3.
            Nr. 2-3 are more interesting with the red title.
            thank you foryou feedback!

              @cszoltan hmmmmm difficult to decide but I think for me the second one is the most appealing. the warm tone makes it friendly. I always try to imagine wich book I would took up if these lay before me, and this would definitely be it, even though I like the green one too, but I think the orange sky balances the image better

                It's 2 for me also. I agree with the prior post that it balances the image. I think the green sort of seperates the colors into the top and bottom half.

                    Orange 😊

                    The blue is a bit dark. I dont know what it would be like lighter

                      I think it's #2 for me, as well. Great job!

                        @cszoltan I like #3 - the green city and sky make a nice backdrop, drawing attention to the two red things - the title and poppies in the foreground. The characters stand out well on this too. The orange sky in #2 makes the green hill and Emerald City stand out instead, which does not seem intended to be the focal point?

                          @cszoltan Looks great! Personally, I like the green sky the most: it draws your attention to the foreground, seems less busy, and reads better at a smaller size. Orange would probably be my second choice.

                              @deborah-Haagenson @Freya-Chakour @Nyrryl-Cadiz @Eric-Droke @K-Flagg Yes, I think it balances out the flowers and the title more, and also holds contrast to the Emerald City.
                              @miranda-hoover @carriecopadraws If the sky is a light green then the grass and the City becomes One background, and gives a stronger contrast to the foreground characters and the red title on top.

                              Thank you for all your help, have a great Weekend!
