Layout's not my strong point, but as far as I can see it's fine as it is! :3

You have to remember where the title will go, the price box and UPC code box will also be on there. Take those into consideration when you lay out a cover.

Depending on title placement I could see either the characters in the upper right or the girl in the upper left getting covered with Title block.

I was actually just going to adjust the title up, but I don't have a good title graphic. Never been good with that sort of design. But it is always important to consider those after-artist marketing add ons.

Personally, taking DustyKat's suggestions into play as well, I'de suggest removing the furtherst top right pic, move the middle one in the cloak down and to the left, almost centering it, and then move the profile shot down, clearing some spots for thoes barcodes and such. But overall, it looks great =D Always keeps the eye moving =)

~N~

Maybe it's just because it's a sketch, but it looks a little busy to me.

Maybe cut out a thing or two, and like Dusty said, make room for that stuff.

But again, maybe it's just it being sketchy that makes it look like that, and it'll be roomier in the inking phase.

It's supposed to be one of those, here are a bunch of main characters in a busy picture where none of them are together, but they're all together. I'm sure there's a word for that type of layout, I just don't know it. There is going to be some room, but I don't know if it's really smart to leave space between the characters, because I don't know what kind of background to put in there.

It's called an establishing, or splash page. If you are going to put this many characters on it, you dont need a background. Infact it would be detrimental to the piece and make it hard to "read" If you were going with this layout I would make the background a solid color, the characters over that color and the snazzy logo on top of that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. or maybe a wash like a gradient or something. And the snazzy logo? I'm thinking I'm going to have to work on that one.
