K… so my idea is to have Hunter, full body, in the center. Head dropped- staring down at his feet, shoulders shrugging, arms mostly limp, turned so the thumbs are outward, at a slight angle to his body to accentuate the ‘I don’t know’ shrug. Tail wrapped around either one or both legs, like how some people bite their lip, he wraps his tail. In above him, kinda faded in the background, would be two head shot versions of him. On one side would be the hunter at the beginning of the book. His eyes lay on the full body Hunter, kinda anxious and afraid. He still wears the hair dye, he looks submissive and the collar is heavy on his neck, with the chain hanging down so it’s behind the full body Hunter and up to another head shot Hunter; this one with the spots and looking lively and strong, and trying to be happy. He could be looking at full body Hunter… just try to make it seem like he’s saying, “it’ll be hard, but it’s worth it!”
Could have the chain meet full body Hunter’s collar and maybe the chain from his own color is in his hands, resting in his fingers, loosely grasped. The caption would be “I can’t decide.” It’s a leap of faith, should he keep life out it is and try to make the best out of it… or should he betray everything he’s been raised to believe in order to find freedom?
