Hey guys!

More Gemini art for you to check out.

This time I am gonna give you guys a peek at the cover for the 2nd issue. Rather than talking about the actual comic story, I am gonna get all art nerd on you, and talk about how I went about creating this cover.

A: This drawing here is the first step. In actual fact, I had drawn a very rough sketch which was very similar to this idea as a possible cover for issue 1. Because I already had the idea, I didn't need to spend much time thumbnailing, so I pretty much drew this straight on the board and sent it to Mr. Faerber to see what he thought. He liked the idea (and so did I), so I took it to the next step.

B: Refining of the pencils. As I am inking this art myself, I don't need to get too tight, but I still want my perspectives to be right at this stage, and I also went in and tweaked the characters to get them looking better. As you can see, I made the characters actually face each other (as you would in a fight), as well as fixed up that crazy ballet leg on Gemini. Once I got the pencils to this stage I was ready to jump into some inks!

C: As you may notice here, I didn't show all of the inks...firstly, because this way you see better detail, and secondly, cause I want to save the complete inks for when I show you the finished piece! I have talked about inks before, but as you can see the idea is to get everything reading really nice n clear and ready for colour...

Check back later in the week and I will post up the finished cover with FCO's colours...and perhaps a little concept art of the angry fellow

Hope you enjoy!!

Jon.
