Here's the published cover, for comparison.
This prelim is another false start. It appears on the back of the art.

The composition looks fairly close for the figures. Barb Wire doesn't have her sunglasses at night and the wrought iron gate replaces the bars here. Haley puts in these bars to contrast and accentuate the curves which are finely and applied, but then there'd need to be explanation of what the bars represent.
Is the published version that much better? I submit to the editor's judgement, but the difference in the impact of the two versions does not seem great to me. Yours is a great piece of OA. Congrats.
Exceptional artwork by Haley. I think it's every bit as good as the published cover.
Ghost phasing through the other character? So cool. Easier said than done artistically, and I love that you gotta do a double take! Congrats!
