‘scuse me, but you got something on your lip there. . .
. . . or are those two forked tongues coming out of there?
“The Dirty City, that’s what she said!”
— nope
Aside from the fact that the lips stand out in the wrong way… Why the eyes, too?
It looks like her lipstick is melting, or it’s cherry soda and she didnt wipe her mouth. That’s not the color of real blood.
The woman and the man appear to have come from different decades…
Actually, I like this cover. Grey works well here. And the red lips are a visually arresting pop of color (although I wonder if it’s a vampire book.
I like the title and the people images, ad the background, too. I think it’s well done, especially compared to what I’ve seen on LBC.
Only issue I have is the font choices. Could be better, IMHO.
It would make me browse or do an inside look, which is what a cover is supposed to do.
