Description
INPUT APPRECIATED I'm probably going to make everyone a little lower just so the image is more balanced (a deeper valley so to speak), and maybe reposition the emelan kids, but for now I'd like thoughts on this layoutTortall/Emelan (c) Tamora Pierce
Art (c) Minuiko

Looks pretty good, though I think the front page looks a little too crowded. I think since the focus is on the main heroes/heroines of Tamora Pierce series, maybe just take the ominous villain out all together so you have more space to play around with character positioning? With the villain taking up practically one side of the page, it seems...distracting. Like we're trying to see over his shoulders just to get a glimpse of them.

Thatβs slightly...questionable xD Whyβs the Emelan quartet there?! Worlds mixed up 
Nevertheless...Merry Christmas

The Emelan quartet is there because some of the comic entries are from their books. Though I can certainly understand the confusion since *Maseiya named the group after Tortall

I like the idea of Pounce/Faithful being in between Beka and Alanna better, and spacing Kel back just a little farther or a little closer, to create more of a variety. Right now, Kel, Beka and Alanna are kind of creating this straight-across line, which isn't all that attractive. Also, is there any reason why Aly's just kind of chilling out instead of being battle-ready like everyone else? xD

ugh can't type
Pounce will be between Beka and Alanna* rofl

Already noted haha, the ugliness is mostly chalked up to my laziness, final version will have most of your edits (already talked it over with fellow TCPers)
Pounce will be between Faithful, Aly will be battleready with knives and probably crows, and yeah I noticed the straight line before I submitted but didn't feel like editing. Other things to note is that the image will probably have to be reoriented again, with the shadowy villain will be on the back cover rather than front due to taking too much room on the front. Look forward to version 2

I'd like Daine closer up, but that's more because she's my favorite.

This is so epic!! the only thing is that everyone seems to be active and fighting the random villain dude, but Aly is just chillin' and looks a little out of place

My comments on maybe changing/fixing up a little bit of the spacing and things, idk
Perhaps have Daine faving more towards the viewer
It looks as though she's aiming over there to the Emelan kids and not the villain
so I think changing her angle like 45 degrees should help
Will the Emelan four be showing off their powers? Or like a little aura glows around them? Maybe like glowing thread for Sandry, a red hot hammer for Daja, some vines for Briar, and a crazy shitstorm for Tris? (idk)
Though if you're going to currently leave the four on the front cover, I'd recommend moving them over left towards the spine more
the last person on the right is getting crushed by the random villain's face and I think it's hard to see them
I personally love how Beka's on the front cover, seeing as she's my fave heroine
Also, I think since she's the most recent heroine next to the first/Alanna, then I think that's pretty cool as well
Though I am a deathly huge fan of Kel...
I do like how Kel's glaive is like I'm fucking huge, look at me and follow me to the back of the book where you can see some other cool characters as well!

I'd put Faithful in between Alanna and Beka. This looks awesome!

I like having Pounce and the crows in there! It does seem like Daine should be turned towards us at least a little more, but overall much love for this design!

Oh my god I love the idea so much!!! Everyone fighting together against a shadowy, mysterious villain... so awesome!!!
