Author Topic: #25 Cover Scans Barry Kitson Advisor posted                          Hi Guys No graemlins this post as I'm going to cram 8 images in! This was an unusual cover as I wanted to capture the feel of the 'classic' Mon-el character without making anything confused that it might be an 'imaginary tale' or outside our ongoing continuity...which may well be why I ended up doing two verions! As usual we started with a quick thumbnail Steve Wacker our editor asked that I shift the layout to ensure Kara wasn't obscured by the logo so a new rough was done and refined I sketched out the figures and then moved on to my first pencilled version and inked it but then I felt that I hadn't quite caught the feeling I wanted in the piece so began again and pencilled version 2 and inked that which was the version used. I think this is the first time I've actually drawn and inked two versions of a cover...and might well have done a third had time allowed! I hoe you find the scans of interest! Thanks as always to Nightcrawler for hosting the images! -------------------- Cheers Barry www.barrykitson.com From: UK | Registered: May 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Pizza Delivery Girl Fighting world hunger for glory and tips! posted                           Love the pictures, and *love* the final cover image used. Thanks for putting these up! Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Nightcrawler Founder posted                           Thanks Barry! Supergirl looks more evil or villianous in the first version. Maybe that's why you wanted it changed? Either one makes a beautiful, striking, and shocking cover.

Supergirl should always be pretty, even when choking a guy. -------------------- STARSEARCHERS WEBCOMIC Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Monkey Eater Lad Gorilla Griller posted                          I really like Mon-el's hairdo! It's *choke* so pretty!

The change looses some dimensional effect while making SG more equal in importance, I think. She's also prettier! Shady -------------------- Let the games thrive, friend and foe alike.

Barry, I love the evil on Supergirl's face in the first one. Like, whoa. But the second definitely has an elegance more befitting of the characters. Good show. -------------------- Abin: You know what to do with a Cali sandwich? No but neither do Cobie and CJ! CJ: Yeah, we do. She's smiling, isn't she? Context... who needs it?

The first cover makes him look like an adult. That and version A makes Supergirl looks like shes ready to shove Mon down a dark hole and make him rub the lotion on his skin. -------------------- -Nick- Is Civil War over with yet?

Thanks again for another peek at the creative process, Barry! -------------------- Legion World's Badwill Ambassador From: A Huge, Pulsating, Ever-Expanding Chicken Heart | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |
