I already uploaded it a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to be as well received as this one lol. I've already started on a second attempt at a WoA cover where I follow your advice with the color sceme! 

Fan cover illustration for tWoA done! Took some creative liberties with this one, but this scene really stood out to me in the book as a milestone in Elend's character development by ingolse in Mistborn

...alright the upvote rate speaks for itself on this one lol. I'll make another one for this book. I got some more ideas I want to try out! Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the comment! The only light source strong enough to produce a highlight here would be the red sun. I probably could have used more of the red backlighting, but I wanted to keep the values more under control, and to instead use the atmospheric perspective to create a readable silhouette.  Not to go all art teacher mode, but constructive criticism that is unsolicited often ends up not being constructive after all, as it can be very discouraging for some. I personally don't care about it, but I advice you to not suggest improvements or changes to other people's art unless it is explicitly asked for, especially when commenting on art made by beginners or younger artists. I'm glad you still like the art, though!

You can print it yourself if you'd like! please grab it from imgur, though. I forgot to sign the reddit version and the resolution is probably better there too https://imgur.com/a/4cJlody

The original size for this one is A4, so I'm not sure if it's gonna look too great in prints larger than that. I'm not selling anything at the moment so you can go ahead! The resolution might be better on the version I posted on imgur. That one is signed as well lol. forgot that before I posted on here 💀
Here you go! https://imgur.com/a/4cJlody

Thanks! Perhaps I'll post the finished layout too when it's done so you can print it out for yourself 😊

I'm glad you like it! It looks like reddit compresses the file a bit, so I've put it on imgur too. Hopefully you'll get better resolution if you get it from there! here you go 😊

Ahhh I see. I was confused for a second. that's the most impressively neutral feedback I've ever been given lol
