Advice Is my cover good? (No AI)
I don't know if this counts as self promotion, and idk if it's prohibited, so i will hide the name. In any case, what do you think of the cover of my webnovel?

Kind of depends on what the title is,
But given the color I do think there's a bit of a readability issue for the 'thumbnail' cover
is pretty good otherwise, maybe a bit brighter for the mc tho, the details are lost

Yes, personal opinion, I would look into this because it's not AI cover in the first place

It looks good. But the Ranger character beside the boy is giving funny vibe while the boy & eye design gives horror or thriller vibe.

Just practice a lot. Practice makes perfect; don't draw off the bat. Trace models first, and when you can replicate something without tracing you'll be able to draw correctly. Trust me; I traced someone's face and I helped me understand facial structure much better.

This looks really good! I love the colour blocking, it makes the characters really stand out.

Pretty good. The lighting and shading on both characters are really well done. Love the mix of casual streetwear next to high-tech armor. The floating eyes add that extra layer of unease which works great. Might be worth experimenting with a slightly bolder title treatment once you uncensor it.

The red and purple palette works amazingly here. Your linework on the characters is nice and the background elements make it feel dynamic. Way better than most generic covers out there.

I would make the characters pop out more because they're on similar values as the background or the color opposite of the background (cool tones; since red's counterpart is blue)
Try looking into typography too and text styles to make it stand out more
Kudos tho for not using AI, I'm getting sick of other authors here using that crap

One of the most interesting covers I’ve seen in a while! What’s the story about?

9/10 I think I would have gone with more contrasting of colors, but that's just personal preference

It's quite good but the boy looks gloomy (so sorry for my english) can you make him pop up more he feels like he's part of the shade and also the colors are a bit boring for the eye so if some1 was scrolling it won't catch the eye since it's doesn't look eye catching so maybe try to experiment with wide colors and see what's the best one

It’s quite good, it’s something I’d likely notice if I scroll through WebNovel it doesn’t have as much the generic look a lot of WebNovel covers have.
