Renegades Cover Mockups

Description

It's that time again!
A little over a year ago, I was trying to decide whether or not to self-publish Secrets of PEACE and I made a few cover mockups, just for fun: fav.me/d9th2a4
Since I'm planning to publish Renegades in July (on Zira's birthday again--the 27th), I figured I should probably get started on at least thinking of cover ideas. So, once again, I took a random Google image and some of the pieces from Secrets' cover art and threw these mockups together. So yes, Zira's silhouette is super ugly right now. I would just end up drawing her and then turning it into a silhouette like I did last time, so it would look much cleaner.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated. If they all suck, I'd much rather know now so I can start trying to come up with something else.

From left to right:
1) If I used this one, I'd definitely have to do new art of Jared, but it would probably be a similar profile silhouette or something. This one is probably most like the first book, but I kind of feel like it's a little too similar.
2) This is the one I'm kind of leaning towards right now. I think I kind of love it, but we'll see how I feel about it in the morning or a week from now or whatever. I may add more red around the text to make the shadow and outline show up a little more, instead of just that small bit on the right side.
3) A variation on the middle one, but I don't think Jared's profile stands out enough and it doesn't have quite the same impact.

Omgggggggg 😍 I think the middle is my favorite too??? The contrast is great, first of all, and Zira is not only running but is kinda in Jared's mind. It's perfect. Plus the darker background created by his shilhouette makes the title pop more (which I guess is the definition of contrast, but whatever lol)
