Excellent scene and composition, well done...

Great background and poses!

I'd take a look at the book based on that cover. Though I would think you'd need to leave a few "boring" places so that the title and other text could be placed.

Pretty nice action scene. Good dynamic sense of people running about and something dire happening. Good job!

As a single image, the composition feels disconnected, but as a wrap around book cover, it works just fine. A nice layout experiement. The purple tone is neat and certainly dominates the image's initial impression. I'm not too keen on the screaming girl in front of the moon. Her poses seems somehow too cliche and disconnected from the moment. There's also the thematic disconnect between the futuristic foreground and the high fantasy architecture of the background.

Looks like Michael Jackson is escaping from the thumbnail of this post. Did you try to make the guy look like MJ from about 1995? hehe...........;-) Cheers, David
