Update at post #7!

What do we think about these? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

#1
#2
#3

You can also use the little arrows to switch between them. I hope my website doesn't glitch!

If you asking for which one I prefer, personally I'd go for #3. The tan color really makes it more eye-catching than just the b&w one (#1).

#2, with the color choice, doesn't make the girl stand out as much, but I still like this one as well.


(Not like I know anything about book covers or art.)

Thank you! I like number 3 as well. It came out a bit British retro, almost.

If there's anything off composition wise / wrong with the drawing / whether it's too glum for YA, I'd be happy to know too. I haven't fully made my mind up on this design.

Specifically, too girly?

I don't think it's too glum or too girly. Especially not girly. I like it. I haven't read any steampunk in a long, long time, so I wouldn't know what other covers look like. To me though, this more reminds me of a YA horror novel. I think it plays nicely with the witch part.

Here's my second version. Any thoughts?

Here and now
It's definitely an intriguing cover, and the best among those you have proposed.

I like that last one a lot.
