Would I start reading your comic/novel based on your cover

crossedvessel 2021-05-30 09:40:30 UTC #28

Oh yes I've been subbed to this series on webtoon for time now... And I must say that I'm inlove with your art

Will I click on it: maybe, depending on the day I have and the plot of the comic. I use to value the story before the drawing, though everything is important.
What's my opinion: it's cute, not bad if you are looking for a children target or if it's a comedy
What can be better: the color looks kind of plain and the title font doesn't help. I reccomend looking for a color pallette that matches your style and defining if you want flat colors+ line or a more pictoric style
100% honest opinion: this chicken has cute eyes (I mean, I already said the honest opinion)

Here's my cover

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

arxianfall 2021-05-30 11:42:32 UTC #31

No, you wouldn't. That's why this week I'm doing a new one.

Legendarylankman13 2021-05-30 11:45:02 UTC #32

Would I click on it?:

If I was into romance stories yes. This is what I get when I look at this cover.

What’s my opinion?:

I love the as above so below feel of it. Having one character on the top and one character at the bottom, creating a contrast in look and feel.
The art is great too. The title disappears with the art however. Maybe making it white or a lighter colour than the artwork will help that out.

What can be fixed?:
Just the title, make it stick out from the background because I didn’t notice it at first.

100 percent honest: no lies. Only truth.

@sorible

Will I click on it? Yes, the genre and the lovely colors are my favorite webcomics to read.

What's my opinion? Lovely vibrant colors with cute characters and expressive faces. I honestly love it.

What can be better Maybe the colored background could be a different light color: peach, or aqua. And for the title design, it could be something different, a cuter design with some flowers.

100% honest opinion Honestly this comic cover is my jam, genre wise, cute drawing style, and overall an attention grabbing cover. Great work

Here are my book covers:

1st one: I wouldnt click because the artstyle is not my cup of tea. Just my personal taste.

2nd one: Wouldn't click, because it looks too generic. I can't tell what kind of artsyle you have for this thumbnail and there are no faces. I assume it is a novel instead of a comic?

3rd one: Def would click. I like the artstyle and the genre it screams from the thumbnail + the guy is cute

SurvivALIST 2021-05-30 12:11:59 UTC #36

Oh. A thread on art criticism! Gotta try it...

Will I click on it: Well, I clicked on it with all honesty because I thought it would be similar to Diego Palacios' Rocky the Rock tapas comic.

What's my opinion: It looks a dirty in the background which evokes uncertainty, tension, and ambiguity. I think the title should be more about the MC instead of the conflict (conflict isn't even human or personified so how can we relate to a fog?).

What can be better: For me, the mist must be white instead of grey and the chicken's color should have bright yellow skin like a bit neon so it looks appealing to readers interested in your genre. After all, one of your comic's tags have #friendly on it so the cover must look friendly.

100% my opinion!

I've been meaning to change my book cover too but I need honest opinions on this:

I may even go hiatus if there were comments that help me alter this cover a bit or more.

Thanks for this thread!

SurvivALIST 2021-05-30 12:20:33 UTC #37

Hello! Nice to see that you've finally made the decision of publishing your webcomic in Tapas ever since your first thread in this forum. Keep it up!

Oh. A thread on art criticism! Gotta try it...

Will I click on it: I clicked on it during the day you posted your first thread.

What's my opinion: The Fairy Stepmother title truly attracted me because I favor the fairy godmothers rather than than cinderellas of any stories. It's got some basic medieval colors in it so I can tell the setting.

What can be better: Brighten the cover a bit and add some roses or romance related icons because that's what your tags of your novel say.

100% my own opinion!

samiluu 2021-05-30 13:25:43 UTC #38

it is not a romance story tho more like Fantasy/LGBT/BL well however I was thinking of changing it, but anyways thanks very much for taking some time on this

Legendarylankman13 2021-05-30 13:42:07 UTC #39

Was going off of what the cover was telling me. Since it is fantasy I much more interested!

WhateverTheTurtle 2021-05-30 13:43:17 UTC #40

I'm not sure if I would click on it or not. Your cover doesn't draw my interest in too much. Judging by the cover I assume its a sweet story that I would probably read before I go to sleep after watching a horror movie. Which I might just do lol.

This is my cover:

Let me know what you think!

surenlicious 2021-05-30 13:48:47 UTC #41

Will I click on it
No. I am not the target audience.

What's my opinion
Def a cute style, I'm not entirely sure what we're seeing here other that a cute chick on a journey.

What can be better
Perhaps a better balance with the composition? Like putting the text a little closer to eachother, make them a bit bigger and center them? Tree can be a little smaller to show more distance and I think it will be better.

littlelilylee5683 2021-05-30 13:50:33 UTC #42

Fun. I'm not an artist, but to the OP:

Will I click on it? Probably not. Doesn't seem like my type of comic?

What's my opinion? I love the adorable chick looking like Rambo. Not sure what to expect from the story though. Seems like a comedy or parody, with the cutesy chick going on some action adventure.

What can be better? I agree with other comments - perspective issues and the colors are a bit flat, but the chick is super cute. I think the thing that bothers me the most is the font. It doesn't really seem to go. It's just kind of typed on there. I think a more intentional font that matches the style would help a lot.

Here's my currently running novel:

And a fantasy novel I am working on editing to publish:

Neverseen 2021-05-30 14:11:08 UTC #43

Maybe. I don't usually go for the cartoony comics.

Kuma 2021-05-30 14:22:35 UTC #44

I know that is a saber, I meant it is a kinda wonky perspective

Kirieslawa 2021-05-30 14:57:59 UTC #45

ah okay, sorry

AwesomeSoFar 2021-05-30 15:01:28 UTC #46

our cover was kind of a last-minute creation, so we didn't put too much thought into it, but I might as well post it.

samiluu 2021-05-30 15:31:39 UTC #47

I see, so I guess it's confusing hmmm thanks for all!

leopagefiore 2021-05-30 15:57:13 UTC #48

Will I click on it
Probably not, but only because I think it's meant for readers younger than me.

What's my opinion
It looks like a story for younger readers. If I had kids, I might suggest it to them.

What can be better
I think the font doesn't match the style. I'd go with with a more rounded sans-serif typeface. Also, the tree in the background is positioned in such a way as to look like it's right next to the (chick?/rooster?), making the tree look smaller than intended.

Here's mine:
