It might feel off because of the balancing. The upper half is more filled than the lower, with nothing to balance it. Looks really clean and nice though!

Not necessarily bad for a book.

Take a look at the cover for Gothika:
Blue instead of white.
Disney evil: green instead of white.
Me with the sepia tone: beige instead of white.
You’re right there with it, but unless its linen, we ain’t skered of white.
Now, you COULD just go against the programming and channel IT.

thank you, but I like the angst look better for this cover 
I might create a more thriller-ish concept tomorrow though, if I have the willpower

You have a penchant for adding white or brights in dark scenes: it works for ghosts, and that’s about it.
You like the crispness of the brighter tones, don’t you?
I don’t think it’s wrong, it’s just predisposition of media.

I have no idea 
I just go with what seems to work. Lighting is usually an effect of the textures I use, sometimes from the base image itself, and I either use it or I hide it based on the look I’m going for.
Ah well, I am said to be wired different 
I never liked following trends that “cramp my style” or that was popular unless it worked for me

So I really don’t know how to do romance books, So I decided that I was going to focus on getting better in that genre.
Here’s my very first try…
I love how the back ground turned out, But the title… What font should I use and how to style it?

I like the font colors. Try using a thinner decorative italic or a thin serif + script combination

A modern sans-serif or something geometric paired with a brush font, like Jeko + White Oleander works well.

Something that’s been irking my nerves all day.
When you have 2 contrasting colors in words that overlap, you can manually weave them together:
Not that it’s an automatic improvement, but that my brain wouldn’t leave it alone.

I hand drew it in on my phone. I used the graphite pencil because it “blurs” better at that size.

The conundrum:
The fairy is as big as my thumbnail on my phone. I thought it was an angel, that small…so it may be a miss at the size people are seeing it.
But leaves and a moon doesn’t scream the fae part of it as much.
Can the wings be outlines that are empty, to imply gossameresque qualities or does that show up even worse?
And I bet a 25% increase on the central figure to the rest of it would show up well.
That being said, both are nice.

I prefer the one on the left personally since I like how it incorporates both the ‘fae’ and ‘moones’ part of the name xD

No problem.
Just remember that half of everyone you’re reaching out to is on a tiny ass phone and the others are on honking laptops.
