When Korim was giving me some visual refs to use for this cover, most of them had this yellow, red, and dark brown kinda tone to them. Even had a photoshopped version of his cover layout so I know where the lighting should go. It made me think of the 300 movie. I took a hint and just ran with it focusing mainly on tones, which was kinda tough because the silhouettes. I made up for that using some light and dust effects here and there to slightly pop out the character shown here, Petra.

I had fun with the clouds in the background, there was just so much space for me to play with.

In this issue, Korim bugged me to put in some HTK-ish highlights whenever I could just so I could make the characters pop out more. I did, as sparingly as I could so it didn't look overdone. I think it looks better than the third issue.

It's been a long time since I've said "Wow" out loud to a comic cover illustration. Neozoic issue 4 cover by *axl99 is an awesome cover to what looks like a very interesting comic coming out soon. The pencils to this cover were done by the wickedly talented ~jkorim, be sure to send some uber kudos his way as well. A very successful collaborative effort.

Im willing to bet you work on this series often. I have to ask........ how do YOU put the logo/title on your work? And if you know, how do MOST artists who draft their own logo put THEIRS on their cover pages, if you know? Do u just have it saved as a photoshop file and stamp it on the a finished cover art page or is there a traditional way to do it? Its bugging me!
