On Muddy Colors lately was posted great article about Book covers http://muddycolors.blogspot.com/2013/07/...overs.html
The second one is obvious unfinished but the first one is sketch too? The girl have few anatomical problems, too big head, fat neck, small hands, fabric folds looks odd. But being honest I don't like overall composition. It's clumsy without any design. I would rethink it entirely. The "Deception" is much better, everything fit nicely in curved line, have unified directions. You could also add a shadow of the character on the Victorian wallpaper to unite it with environment. And with that decorative background you should add more details on dress to bring it more to front.
I would also check Victorian adverts http://www.victorianadverts.com/catalog/...ex&cPath=8 as an inspiration for layout and fonts :D
