Okay, here is the newest mock-up. I darkened the flowers and made the patches on the princess’s uniform smaller, so there isn’t so much red. I also added a belt and a sheath for the spear blade. I added some shadows, and dirtied up the uniform a bit. Oh, I also elongated the helmet a little more, to make sure it doesn’t look like American military gear.

Also, I only added two ships this time. I can put some more on the back cover, where the picture wraps around. Thanks you all for the input, but tell me what you think of this, because the book should be compiled and ready to go by tomorrow, so I need to slap a cover on it as soon as I can download the template.

Maybe I should move the title up, and put the ships lower down?
