Description Not the final cover. The final has her with a much more red skintone (since she's from mars)

and I dont care to hear about how she shouldn't have a navel, it's an obvious aesthetic choice.

So, this piece was something Scott had done and put in his sketchbook, and Dynamite is putting out Warlord of Mars as a comicbook.

original here

Lines and greytones by J.Scott Campbell

colors by me, Nei Ruffino.

it makes a difference, mainly that when you start light it's extremely difficult to not get really muddy really fast.

I think both versions look good, but I actually like her with this skin tone better than the slighty red, even though I know she's from Mars. I am sad that the actual cover seems to loose some of the shine on all the metal work she's wearing. I think you made all that pop and it looks great, but it got dimmed down on the cover. :/ Your version here just looks so much more vivid.

WhiteHowler7 In reply to Lypiphera01 [2010-07-29 18:09:25 +0000 UTC]

it's because it pops out against the more greenish tones in her skin here, but just kinda sits there in the red version.

I don't care for the logo color scheme- too dark. But I presume that was their choice, not yours. Rest of it works nicely.

well on scotts grey version it was purple like that too so thats why i made it purple. but actually on the final cover they covered all that.

Bright-Raven In reply to WhiteHowler7 [2010-07-30 05:47:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I figured you had simply stuck with Scott's version. No big.

TheCalebKing [2010-07-29 14:23:20 +0000 UTC]

Nice job coloring this. Does it make it significantly easier to color lines with grey tones already in them or just more frustrating?

Thanks!

TheCalebKing In reply to WhiteHowler7 [2010-07-29 19:02:00 +0000 UTC]

Interesting.

At first I thought it might make it easier, but after thinking about it, I thought about all that tonal stuff to work on and thought it'd be more of a nightmare...

Thanks for responding ^^

I can see how the red wouldn't quite match with the current color pallet. I think I like it just the way you have it.

BTW, how was the convention?

well not really, as i typed your response it made me realize, there are a few things that went on but it was pretty normal for the con, and last year sucked so it wasn't hard to type. there of course lies more detail in there, but every person i know is asking me how it went and it's a very long reponse to type again and again. awesome is just the truncated version lol.

I understand. I'd get tired responding to it all too. Especially as popular as you are. Ahh... the fame.

I did hear that EBAS had some of his work stollen at the con. That's absolutely horrible! Sounds like it was quite a few original cover sketches. It's really sad there are people out there like that. Just a shame.
