Wow, thank you Mike and K.G. that's really encouraging! The manga is about four Princes from another planet that crash land on Earth. (They are quadruplets.) The planet they are from is a God fearing planet and their Kingdom's laws forbid anyone from ever going to Earth, they see it as a doomed planet unworthy of salvation. IT's about what happens to the boys as they are stranded on Earth. The manga follows a number of themes about their own spiritual growth as they have to take enormous risks in order to obey God's will. We're writing it as a comedy. I am posting concept art on our website tomorrow.
You're right, expectations for a chapter cover are different because readers already have some interest and pre-knowledge coming from the previous chapter. Still...if having four princes is going to be a significant plot point, it would be interesting to show them even as a row of silhouettes or profiles of to the right of the foreground prince. This addition of detail to this page will slow the reader down, which may or may not be what you want.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it very much. ^^ He is an alien prince, one of four that land on Earth, but people do assume that I misspelled Princess. This is only the chapter title, and I was hoping to have the summary settle the "princes" or "princess" confusion, but do you think I should also clarify it visually?
Clean lines, figures are well proportioned and have have an eye catching stance. The title is slightly off, perhaps by your intent. Either she is the Princess and the title is misspelled or he is one of the Alien Princes and there are princes hiding behind him.
This is rough cover art for a manga I am writing with my friends in luvli arts. I would like to know what you think of it. I drew and inked it by hand, then used Photoshop for the screen tone. It's the first I've ever done like that. Thank you in advance.

Very well done.
You raise a good point. I will play around with it and see what will be a good compromise. Thank you so much. I am grateful for your feedback.
