Description
Finally! I got around to putting together the cover for issue #3.For this one (although you can't see it here), I'm going to print using all blue - dark blue for the foreground figures/items, and a lighter blue for the background - on light blue stock.
I did this on two pieces of bristol - one for the foreground, one for the background (for easier separation for print). This version is a composite in grayscale.
Hopefully it will look cool.
I'm angling on a Spring release for this one - only 3 years since issue 2 was printed!

Very nice splatter work. And is that a 'Vegans Taste Better' mug? Inspired.

Although who knows, it could also say "Vegans Caste Bitter" or "Vegans Haste Letter".

Thanks! It's probably a bit excessive for simply the top of a zombie skull, but heck, why not?
Yep, that mug appears early on in Michael & McKayla's first meeting.
Maybe that's why she attracts all those zombies to her dwelling!

Thanks, Larry! I had a heck of a time deciding what to do for the cover, and my original thought echoed this in a way, but I think this is much more effective.

I almost love this image for what's NOT on the pages as to what is. I think it's the spacing in this that makes it stand out.

That's a fantastic compliment - I don't often plan spacing so much as put stuff where my instincts say to.

You are really good with contrast, there's a lot of detail but everything can be seen clearly, hard to do!

Thanks! I'm also intending to 'lighten' the background when I go to print - the line art will be all blues, with the background a lighter shade.
