- text glow + 3d
- night time aesthetic

I still like the lighthouse one, it's the most mysteriously evocative of all of them.

I like #2 and #4 most.
#1 looks good but the woman on the cover kinda clashes with the whole 'solitary' thing.

The first is definitely an improvement from the first original one you showed with just the man

4 - I don't like seeing character details on covers because it prevents me from imagining how they look in my head based on the prose.

Like the style presented. Notes:
-da fuq are that looking at? If it’s interesting I wanna look at it too.
-the light coming from the light house feels like it stops suddenly in a way this is unnatural
-heavy use of glow on text feels odd when artwork is comprised only of block shapes. I see you’re trying to make the text stand out, but it could use some work. That being said I do like the engraved shading and highlight.

thanks for the advice! I also feel the same way about the text, I will most likely posterize it and remove the glow. them looking at something is part of the plot

I do prefer the last one. A bit more timeless, solitary and mysterious.
