I've just spent a good deal of my latest 5 minute break looking over this. The triptych format, especially with the stark break of black and white is compelling, I really hope the cover art is this whole thing, and not a wrap around. The warmer colour palette choice stops the slightly disturbing imagery from being too much of a visual turn off and you've managed to keep the balance between appealing and creepy for both female focuses. The repetition of shapes between the female face on the left and the black and white ink sketch is a really nice touch, makes me curious about her character, since she's obviously not all she seems! The only minor gripe I have is the shadows on her face on the left are making her face appear less solid, especially as there is that slightly warped bent to her nose line.

I have to say I love the turquoises and oranges on the far right panel I'd love to see a close up of that image itself the textures and shapes are very appealing, makes me think of witches and crows. All in all, I love it, it would definitely catch my eye in a book store.
