My definitive cover for my latest novel, Forbidden: Re:Life Days.

This follows the theme I originally thought of, but I think I got it much better this time. The expressions are subtle, the focus of the picture is on both Lei and Sween, and I worked hard for the snowy trees to not steal it. Sween's coloring gives the picture a warm touch that goes well with the romance theme, otherwise the whole would end up too gelid.

I like how this came out, but I'm still nowhere close to where I want to be as an artist. I need to work hard for next cover to be better than this one!

On the other hand, this was my first attempt at making a cover.

As you can see, I didn't really finish. There was something I felt couldn't be fixed: Sween's eyes are too big and seem teary (she's supposed to be overcome with emotion, but not teary) and for some reason Lei just can't be seen, my eyes return to Sween again and again on their own. Also, it can barely be seen but I tried an intricate work with the leaves, but that light blue barely shows. All in all, it wasn't coming out like I wanted to so I chose the same theme but in another picture for the cover.
