Cover Art for Vera Nekrasova's Oatmeal, the Dresser, and the Pink Cockatoo

I created this work for an illustration contest. The story is about Oatmeal (who looks like a girl) traveling and getting into all kinds of crazy adventures with her friends, the antique dresser and the pink cockatoo.

This is my first book cover ever and I struggled quite a lot with the composition. Because of the name, I felt that all three protagonists needed to be on the cover and it took a while to figure how to do it without making it looked cramped.

What do you think?

In the second variant of the cover, I substituted the parrot with a single feather. I think it works even better!
