This came up in the irc channel I hang out in, along with a couple interesting links... (Which both may be considered nsfw for language.)
Lea Hernandez's opinion of the cover.
Lea Hernandez's retouches of the cover.
Personally, I think the second remix, where she's edited the facial expressions, they look just a little *too* nonchalant. More like they might look if they weren't tied up and the tentacles weren't there. Which a friend of mine pointed out might be sort of the *point*, but... it just looks off to me. And Black Cat's mouth looks *really* weird...
Somewhere in there, I found this link to another remix, which took a different tack - trying to make them look *angry*. Which seems a lot more believable to me, at least in concept. And it keeps the bell, which I just like. '.'
On a side issue, I wonder who the red hair on the right belongs to. That looks like really nice hair...
-Morgan, isn't worried about the tentacles, she's worried about the things with the glowing eyes and claws that seem to be trying to get in...
"Once people turned to the sapphire heavens to fulfill their dreams. But their thirst for power turned the dreams to nightmares, and the people were driven to the brink of destruction... and then all was silent."
-From "Rise R to the Second Power"
