Description A lot of you if you've been around for a long while probably remember the original: [link]

I felt for the reposting of this cover I needed to spice it up, color it proper. This certainly didn't turn out proper. It was rushed via adrenaline. But the shading is at least a little more accurate. I may switch the old one out with this one. I dunno. I like memories.

But the color theory is all wrong on this - I'll be repainting it again, you can bet. But it's nice to have something fresh.

For the COMIC! [link]

I love the design of her clothing and the movement of her hair.

Awesome work on the effects coming from her hands.

This really just epitomizes how much you've improved. :]

God knows that happens to me whenever I pick up a sketchbook that's been gathering dust in my closet. ;D

Oh wow, I like this one much better. My only complaint is that the black lightning looks too solid. Like it's turning into ribbons or something. Anyways, I finally got to order the most recent comic book Can't wait to see it

Yeah, that's always been my complaint with this effects grouping too. The transitional work just didn't turn out as good as the way it did on the last page of Book 1. I didn't change it for this version of the cover but I likely will redo the whole thing for the cover of the official printing.

Isn't this book already out? Maybe if the black was a little more transparent it would work better?

Thanks so much!

I like this one better, somehow Juno just has more of that 'I'm gonna rip your spine out and beat you with it' aura in this picture.

junobean In reply to LadyReiko [2007-08-11 04:01:45 +0000 UTC]

Yay! That's certainly what I was going for. The original full inks had that darkness under the eyes.

mistycat85 [2007-08-09 18:12:19 +0000 UTC]

wow- you can really see how much you've improved by comparing the two. This one has a lot more going on and the shading/coloring makes it seem much more intense. awesome work!

ChelseaDanger [2007-08-09 05:32:38 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, at first I thought I liked the old version better, but after comparing the two, this new version is much better! It looks much more realistic, more 3-dimensional, the lightning and darkness power looks brighter and better, and the shading and lighting of the overall piece is superb. It is darker than the other one, but I think that it suits the picture perfectly. Wonderful job, you just keep on improving!

loriofpandora [2007-08-09 05:29:43 +0000 UTC]

the lines themselves are alot better and more dynamic than the previous iteration, but as you said, the color theory is off. I would really like to see you stray from your standard color palette and stretch your comfort zone a bit more.

Over all though, it's a super cover.

heehee - I promise I have. Just haven't been able to post it yet because it's all comic related and peeps seem to get pissy when I do that. :/

This one was certainly weird - it's like you wanted to stay the same but improve... and there just wasn't a happy medium. But I'll continue to work on it. It'll figure it's way out eventually.

Thanks Lori!

I like this version better that the last. This version is a bit more vivid with the colors and the shading is a bit more dramatic (i'm a sucker for drama ) Nice work

junobean In reply to CoffeeCatPresents [2007-08-09 04:17:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeah, that's how I felt - that the colors worked out better - the other one just really lacked the contrast to even make it believable.
