The Ranger Team!

Kallisto, Maximus, Origen.

Elaine in the middle.

Artemis, Arthur, Julius on the bottom.


Because my verbal descriptions suck. 


There is a second commission incoming :)

I like it but amusingly I feel like the cutesy artsyle fits Elaine best and the sultry cover drawing would fit the rangers best :)

The artist has a very cutsey style. Other artist is a softer style, more like the cover artist

The artist isn't bad but the looks of the characters really doesn't fit. They all look like tweeners and in story other than Elaine they're older than that. Some of them are supposed to be downright grizzled, even covered with scars, right? In particular that guy with the beard looks comical. Like a kid wearing a fake beard.

Wow didn't imagine Artemis to look like that, gotta pay more attention to character descriptions

I agree with the age and grizzled look but wouldn't Elaine be able to heal all scars?

tibbish

Yes but Artemis at least has already said she wanted to keep some of her scars when Elaine offered to heal them previously.

A combo of the artists style, and the artist deciding not to include all the details due to the budget restriction I had.

SelkieMyth

7 people done well is suuuuuppppeeeerrrr expensive. This one was already quite a bit over budget, and there are two! It’s less a high quality look and more of a general idea

Sorry, but I hate it. Maybe title it the blushing ranger team?

Have you considered going with a symbol of sorts on a flag (of the Rangers perhaps?) and maybe have Elaine and the other Rangers in silhouette in the back ground or something? Sweeping fantasy backdrops with that sort of thing in the foreground should be more economical to pull off than a detailed close up of all of them I'd imagine. Something vaguely like this: https://wallup.net/digital-art-fantasy-art-people-painting-artwork-silhouette-nature-field-trees-night-moon-sky-clouds-winter-snow-fire-campfire-shadow-stars-forest-smoke/ For a 1st cover it doesn't have to be super fancy. It should give at least a vague impression of what the story is about though. If I saw a book with a cover like that I'd assume it was a generic middle/high school progression Avatar Airbender-esque thing. Sorry if you already spent too much on this

Oh, this is just pure supplemental artwork for everyone, not using it as a cover!
