A cover is always one of those things that requires a lot of attention, so I've started a bit early. I'm not big into action covers, especially for a story like this one, although it's an action adventure, I prefer the posed look because it fits better with the time period. Mike Mignola's Hellboy covers are a big inspiration; I really like the way he combines the characters and environments, and rarely (if ever) does he do action covers with stuff flying at you.
Well here goes, a very rough study form the first round of sketches.
(Color varies between my two monitors and between .psd and .jpg, so what you see is not the actual color.)
...and a Catwoman, just for the heck of it. Sometimes I need a break from drawing Rose and Isabel all the time. This was a quick 2"x3" warmup drawing...thought I'd post it...

I'm impressed with the drawings and appreciate your willingness to share the process. Good luck with the finished project.
Shazam!
It's the one-two punch with new drawings! Dig those dark colors for the cover, and the "bloody" part 2 lettering. Maybe you should redo the part 1 lettering for the reprint --?

Thanks everyone!
Cover's looking great. I agree about Mignola's covers. Static, graphic and ornate.
awesome works! you have a developed style and great sense of aethetics. Love to see that cover when it all completed.
I just popped into your blog by chance, R&I looks very promising indeed. I'll probably be flying over to America this summer, if so I'll certainly look for a copy of your book if it's already in circulation.
Here's a curious question about one of your links: I've recently read "The Poor Bastard" by Joe Matt. Is "The Beguiling" in his book the same you've linked ?
Looks spiffy to me! Again, I can hardly wait.
thanks yall.
mitxo -yes I believe it's the same Beguiling...I haven't been there but Joe and maybe some of the other D & Q guys shop there.
