I'm working on a cover image for the chapter 1 book of Stuff Sucks and the deadline is pretty tight. This is what I drew today. Constructive criticism and suggestions are most welcome!

RE: Cover Image

I think its looks awesome.

If anything the girl's right leg (her right) looks a little odd below the knee.

Otherwise any idea on how you are going to present the actual words "stuff sucks"? As in terms of typography and layout?

comic looks nice too...

<-- reading... <('oo')>

RE: Cover Image

Thanks for responding, pOnju! Here is a rough draft of the possible layout.

The actual book will be roughly 8x8 inches. Any comments about the layout?

The layout looks good, but to me at least, the writing reads kind of strange because reading from left to right and top to bottom the first thing you read is 'by Liz Groenveld' and only afterwards do you find out what it is that is by her... this problem could easily be solved simply by omitting the 'by' then it no longer even looks like a sentence so my brain doesn't try to interpret it as one and doesn't get confused... sorry I couldn't find a less confusing way to explain that...

Thanks for your response. You've got a point, I'm going to think about what I can do to solve that.

Actually, I think it would work if you just left out the word "By" If you look at book covers, most simply have the author's name, coming either before or after the title. However, the word "by" does make it look like something should go before it. I'm not positive that it would work, but it's a possible fix.
