cover for second RBS trade

Been working on the cover for the next collected book. Had more fun with the colors on this one. Was "borrowing" freely from Jock's Lee Loughridge's rougher, "not-staying-inside-the-lines" coloring style from Losers, while also trying to keep in mind the landscape around Los Alamos (mesas + Rio Grande gorge): the crazy colors at sunset, unreal blue sky. Also, Bram thought it would be a good idea (I agree) to have a mostly red cover — to contrast with the first trade.

We're s'posda have printed books in February. In the meantime, pre-orders don't pay shipping! Check out the Raised By Squirrels website for details.

Thanks, guys!

and Jake, I'm all over any coloring technique that only involves the lasso tool + the paint bucket! ;)
