Nice work so far, but what is the woman suppose to be doing. It looks like she would be concern about the creature trying to grab her. If you plan on putting a title on the cover, watch for spacing.

I thought the creature was worshipping her.
Great drawing,but I agree the interaction between the two is confusing. Are they fighting?
I love the lineart, it seems like the heroine is surprised that she is arriving somewhere where there are sharkmen ready to eat her but shes not concerned as shes about to blast them full of her power. Almost like shes saying "Where did these Sharkmen come from? Ah well I will make short work of them with my power." I love the detail as well. Nicely drawn
I really like the drawing itself. Nice crisp lines.
I don't really know what else you're going to be adding to the image, but I definitely agree that the interaction between the two characters here is strange. Would make much more sense to have the woman looking down at the shark-dude.
Other than that, you also have a tangent forming with her ankle and foot and the creature's chin and jaw.

My thoughts exactly. These characters don't seem to be interacting to each other. It's sort of weird. I would think the girl would be reacting to the creature more via her body language and expression. Right now, she almost seems unaware that the monster is at her feet at all. It's indeed odd. The girl should be looking down at the threat instead of out at the reader.
The tangent thing is pretty troubling also. It would be better to have the female figure floating above the creature here than to have the woman's foot butting up against the contour lines of the monster in this manner. Try to avoid tangents whenever you can because they create visual distraction and often diminish depth in a drawing. I don't know if you've seen Bret Blevins' illustrations regarding tangents and line-ups, but in case you're unfamiliar with what a "tangent" might be, Bret sums them up pretty well here:

she reminds me of a typical chick. Posing for a picture rather than paying attention to whats going on
Its really nice coloring, but still the cover doesn't make since. The concept of a comic book cover is to convey what the comic is about. I don't get what this comic would be about.
