cover for second RBS trade
Posted by Monica at January 17, 2007 at 12:45 PM
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.

righteous! nice color contrasts.
absolutely stunning Monica. I love your coloring techniques.
Thanks, guys!
and Jake, I'm all over any coloring technique that only involves the lasso tool + the paint bucket! ;)
