Artist's Comments Cover revision! Any critique is highly appreciated![To Page 1] Amaranth tells the story of Morelle, a society of demons ruled by the vain and powerful Si Komei and his enigmatic, doll-eyed Sih Aret. A somewhat peaceful existence is soon tarnished by unsettling apparitions, vicious monsters, and Aret's increasingly unsettling presence. It becomes apparent that Komei is keeping more than a few secrets, and there are some who will go to any length to uncover them. You can't hide forever . . . Comments o__o ... your summary of Amaranth is absolutely perfect.
I feel bad that I'm shaming it with my crappy lack of skillery.  But still! They both look very good, and I'm very proud of you and your awesome ability to work as you do. The cover is great, and I feel that Amaranth will not only chronicle your story, but it will also show the improvement of your skill from page to page. A sort of.. evolving work, whathave you. -- "I'm gonna kick your ass, and then I'm gonna reenact kicking your ass!" ~ Hank Hill  this is very beautiful...i love the emotion you put into it and the skill and improvements you have made. I cant wait to read more of your wonderful tale

 That's amazing!
-- The price of freedom is madness  looks gggggreat! ça c'est bein!
but Aret's face looks a little...pudgy. like she just had her wisdom teeth out and the swelling has gone down some, but not all the way, you know? but other then that, c'est incroyable! -- this ain't a trick, baby. Hidden by Owner  Beautiful!
 -- Śnij jak śni się tylko raz, swą maleńką nieskończoność.  Looks awesome. 0_0 Aret's hair is so cool....

Critiques
I find it very original and extremely eye-catching. The use of the colors is good and I like the goth-esque style of the whole thing.
I'd suggest a more contrasting color for the title. But I guess the whole pic is attractive at first sight so maybe it won't be really important. Anyway I find the shadows on the hands too dark, specially the right hand of the guy, it took me some time to realize it was actually a hand, but I think that's just because of the shadow.
The girl's face is so nice! I don't really know about Amaranth so maybe I write nonsense, but the guy's face is very feminine, and specially his hands are very feminine. Maybe some bigger, stronger hands would help a lot.
Anyway, lovely coloring, cute design and very well done linework. Keep up the good work!
The designs and lines in the background add depth and an atmosphere, as well as a give a neat quality that really compliments the characters.
All of the problems, and the incredibly few problems, rest with these characters. I love the overall style and appearance, but there are some anatomical issues. The girl's head is a bit too far to the left (ours) of her neck, instead of giving the impression shes leaning a bit, it seems misplaced. The lineart on the man's hand, the one in her hair, is a bit too scratchy and inconsistent with the rest of the piece, and it seems a bit too small.
Despite these two evident problems, I really find this a great cover. It captures lots of personality and is very eye catching.
Great job!
