Hey all...
Thanks Gabo!
So I removed that lined blue image from the back and came up with this instead... I am actually surprised it worked out so well, the image of her with the wings was a lot of work to fix!
Thoughts?

Hey all, here is what I've got now...
So, I added screens and found a logical separation for them with the tail. Was going to add some blue to the screens, but i didn't like it, plus it took away from the blue in the wings.
I have two previews here because a friend of mine recommended that I try the blood in red to add a slight red element that would catch someone's eye. Also it gives a hint that not all is right in the movie.
Oh, yea, almost forgot again... was going to ask if anyone thinks I need a pic on the spine, or does it work as it is? I kind of like it but not sure 100%.Thoughts? Which works better?

I think it's looking really sharp i love the way you blended the screen caps within her tail. And the blue in the wing is super sharp.

I'm personally not keen on the blood but if I had to pick one with blood I'd pick #2. Even though i usually prefer to have a pic on the spine I don't think you really need one because of the design for he background, but if you find a really cool pic that will stand out and blend nice i'd go for it.

Thanks RRJR!
Yea, I have to have the blood either way cuz it's on the mage, but thanks for the choice!

Have you thought about blurring the background so the letter aren't that visible (like on the front)?, cuz they're really distracting

The image started out that way, and I wanted to keep it in focus on the one side so you could tell what it is... Hopefully the update looks good!
K, here it is:
I think I have come to a decision with the blood, but not convinced yet... I did the red to add an interesting layer of color to a two-tone cover... Might not be for everyone, but might just be what I go with, we'll see!
I've also decided to go with no spine pic, I think the spine already has elements on it that work
Added the rest of the text and evened out the BG lighting more...
