Christopher Joe, a great comic art collector and creator of Epsilon Realm recently asked me to do a pin-up for his book. I accepted, and since this wouldn’t require a logo up top I filled the top portion of the page with fire and a jumping character. Well, when Chris saw the pencils he liked it so much he decided to use it as a variant cover, which would mean, yeah, logo. No worries though, I had decided to do the colors myself so I was able to play around with the background composition and the character up top will be placed above the title logo, which actually worked out looking pretty appropriate and deliberate (I guess it’s just a force of habit to leave a bit of space up top for logos).
Here are the final results, and unless I’m much mistaken this will be my debut double-credit on a comic cover as penciller and colorist.
Inks were done by the always amazing Mostafa Moussa – - respect!
