Wow, that is really cool!! What technique did you use? Is that water colors?? Either way that's pretty legit! :))
What if I fall and hurt myself, would you know how to fix me? What if I went and lost myself, would you know where to find me? If I forgot who I am, would you please remind me, because without you things go hazy.

This is really good. I love the figure in the center of it especially, there's something kinda spooky about it when added with the title.

D'awww... Tenyo, this is so beautiful.

Love the image and the colors...the fact that it looks like there's fog is amazing. It looks mysterious and interesting. I think you did a great job picking the title too, I think that is very important when you start a novel. Depending on how catchy it is, you'll get more readers or not. Aaaaaaand, I would definitely grab it to read it. XD Lol.

This is really good. May I ask where you got the picture? Or did you do it yourself?

Honestly, I've been looking at this for the past five minutes, trying to figure out whether or not the cover needs something. On one hand, it seems very bare. It's a fantastic background, and ties in well with the title, but it's just rather empty, especially at the bottom.
Then again, if that feeling of emptiness was intentional, it's a very clever idea. It does make it seem more like it's a picture of a place where good men die.
I'm not sure if that made sense, or was in any way helpful, but...anyway.

The title is excellent! I love your placement of the two lines; long titles can really be a pain to work with, but you did it quite well. The font hung me up at first, but I think it fits quite well. However, since the rest of the title is capitalized, you might want to capitalize 'where'.

I would definitely read this novel. Great work, even if it is temporary!

This is a very Blue picture. It definitely caught my eyes. I would maybe fix the way the person is walking. I don't know if that is what you intended but it looks like he is walking ON the water. (at least that is what I think it is.)
Over all this is a great looking cover. Hope you win.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
