cover art done


Seems like the details sometimes take the longest. I am feeling very good about issue 1's new cover. Phew!

I love this part of the process. You get to watch it come alive right before your eyes.

art flatted


Placeholder color flatted in. I will pull out the details of windows and other objects after I light the general scene. Should be pretty dramatic with underlighting from the right bottom corner.

cover 02


Here we are in "Peking Man" stage. As the drawing is fully fleshed out, I will downplay some of the things that are getting way too much air time (i.e., the window behind him, the drainage pipe, etc).

cover final begins


Still in cor-magnon stage, but will evolve quickly.

type tinkering


Adjusting the spacing of the logotype to accommodate blocking. Nothing like getting away from the computer and back to analog mode.
