So I am working on my first cover and this is what i have so far, but i feel like somethings missing, so I am open to input!

Maybe its just that the font I chose isnt the right choice. Though I personally really like the spine.

Awesome work buddy

Nice start! Is the legal area temporary? As it is currently very low quality.

A few things stand out for me, that could do with adjusting. Firstly the name above the title on the front is very close to the title, and also quite large. Personally I would reduce the font so it sits inside of the black of his suit.

His head on the spine image looks a little odd, as he has a very long head. It looks like you have drawn in his hair and he could do with a hair cut

Also the back synopsis is taking up a very large amount of space, in comparison to everything else. You could move the images up and space things out more evenly.

All caps on the synopsis doesn't work for me.

Is part of the back retail?

Because it looks scanned to me and not actual fonts and custom work, the Billing Block small texts for example can't be read, that won't be acceptable to upload as it is.

You should avoid strokes on texts, ie the synopsis and the back tagline for example should use some color besides red for contrast and leave the stroke off.

Use JPG files for your previews, the Gallery does not accept PNG files anyway, so you will have to convert it in the end before you can upload it.

Alright i worked on some of the issues with the first draft. (totally saw the screwed up hair, idk how I didnt notice)

Yeah the rest is looking good nice update, it would be shame to not recreate the legals and specs at this point, so they are sharp and crisp

Alright with the fixed legals (had to find some fonts) and made some minor adjustments. Hows it lookin now? Also a side question. How do you find legals for things that arent out yet?

You can't, generally accepted practice is too make up stuff to be used as place holders, then when a release comes update it with correct info.

Looking good so far and all the suggestions have helped improve the cover

I would maybe reduce the font size for the synopsis and left align it as centred text is a lot harder to read than left aligned as our eyes read from left to right. With centred text the starting place isn't consistent so this is why it is generally harder to read.
