So for today we were showing off our marker comps for our book cover and cheesy airbrush. For the book jacket I decided to go with The Red Badge of Courage. Since most of the really good covers were taken i decided to go with something a little more standard, but slightly modified. While looking at what most of the other covers look like, i saw a lot with the guy holding a flag in a depiction of the final battle. I thought this image really sold the idea of the book, so i decided i'll try my hand at it. However, I am going to have the illustration wrap around to the back so it's not quite as, ahem . . . stale as some others might be. Take a look:
And for my cheesy airbrush I thought of someone/thing with a cigar. I came up with a cat or a used car salesman. I will most likely use the cat. I will have to work out his legs because they look a bit awkward as is, but then again they should because cat's legs don't rest like that. I thought orange was a good cheesy color, I don't know why It just is. I'm also trying to get him to not look like garfield. Remember, this will be in airbrush, so it can only look worse. Look at this:
