Dungeon Runner 1 Cover

Which do you like more? Be honest! :)

The first image is the original, and the second is the new cover I’ve been working on (still polishing). I designed both. If you dislike one or both, you won’t hurt my feelings.

Did you vote? Good! Now for my thoughts.

I really like the art quality and colors of the second cover. It looks more professional, something you’d see in a store or library. And I like that the portal is more accurate to the books’ descriptions.

But I have a few reservations.

The original cover is more exciting. It conveys a sense of danger and has a very strong focal point. The new cover feels tame and less adventurous.

I like the original character’s pose, but he looks too small, and I don’t like the quality of the art. The new character looks great but might appear too young (he’s almost 18 in the book). I also don’t love showing character faces…

What are your thoughts?
