Mock-Up Cover for Creator Owned Project
Hi all,
Just did a mock up cover for my own story (I uploaded a new sequential page here: http://www.digitalwebbing.com/forums...d.php?t=160262). Done with pitt pens and greyscale pro markers. No prizes for guessing the setting of the story or who I would love to publish it under.  Enjoy:  Thanks Sebastian http://sebastian-chow.deviantart.com/ http://sebastianchow.blogspot.co.uk/ Last edited by Echaelon; 04-23-2012 at 08:29 AM. Reason: **Image Updated with Correct Spelling** |

Just curious, but the word "Military" appears to be misspelled. If it's on purpose, then I wonder why none of the rest of the text is misspelled? Or at least, not so that I noticed.

Doh!!!
How did I miss that? Thanks for pointing that out. Now that you've mentioned it the word is stepping off the page and slapping in the face as painstakingly obvious! Somehow need to fix that. But good to know from this mockup stage! Thanks http://sebastian-chow.deviantart.com/ http://sebastianchow.blogspot.co.uk/ |

Although I'm a big fan of comic covers that step outside of the box, I'm not sure if this has enough information for its audience. All it says is it's a story about Area 51, so it'll be military, conspiracy and UFO-hunters, but there are no hints on this cover as to what the original nugget in your story is. What makes this different than all other "Area 51"-stories? Could you incoporate that element into the cover somehow?

Thanks Magnus,
I think your right. Definitely given me something to think about. BTW, great work on Vessel of Terror  In fact I was just looking a Vessel of Terror and can see how the cover provides more than just an image. http://sebastian-chow.deviantart.com/ http://sebastianchow.blogspot.co.uk/ |

Updated! Final Cover finished!
Ok, I tried to add something in my final version of the pages.
This is the final cover to a preview book I will showcasing at the Kapow convention in London. I'm weak at lettering but this was the best I could do at the moment. Let me know what you think!  http://sebastian-chow.deviantart.com/ http://sebastianchow.blogspot.co.uk/ |

Nice meeting you at Kapow! Like I mentioned, I think you've got much more going with the cover now. Hard to comment on such a cover without knowing the story, but a suggestion might be to put something in the background, behind the sign, as well. If you don't feel the masks get across that extra vibe you need, that is. The logo isn't up to par, but you can find several folks here on DW who could help you with that. :M: www.magnus-aspli.com |

Hey Magnus,
It was good to meet you too. Thanks for the feedback. I agree the logo isn't great and was partly rushed to get something complete to show around Kapow. http://sebastian-chow.deviantart.com/ http://sebastianchow.blogspot.co.uk/ |
