I don't rightly know what's going on with that cover shot, but to me it looks like a drawing you'd get in one of those fantasy calendars with fairies, with the cute hair and the swirling background, and if that's the intention - that she's supposed to look like an illustration - than I'm OK for it to not be at all realistic.
I wonder what the 'story' of the cover really is... hurry up style.it and update with the animated edit!
