Pixels

Postby wysmommy » Dec Fri 21, 2018 9:40 am

I started a new project.  :D

I'm not done with the front. I plan to add more artwork to the empty space in front. I'm also considering adding some explosions or flying dirt and debris. Depends on how much room I have when I add the other artwork.

I also plan to work on the worn edges some more.

I probably won't have an update until after Christmas. Anyhoo.  :-W

On technical merit alone, fantastic work so far. I personally have a few small concerns with this, which could entirely be due to the early stages.

1. I'm not 100% sure how well a title like this (bright, neon and well, pixelated) will work in the pastel/"comic book" feel you have working with it. Again could be just me, and realistically if anybody can pull it off and make it amazing it's you.

2. 'The Dink' (can't remember how to spell his name at the moment) seems a little off. I think it's his positioning, but again could be me.

Which spine do you prefer?

I tried to go a little brighter on the TT, but I'm not sure it works with the cover style. I think a faded duller title fits better with the style of the cover. I'll keep working on it.





Or do you prefer the Title in blue?

I like the pink title and the spine with the title towards the top.

Very nice work mommy,I love how it goes forward together. How about you try to get more color saturation on the entire cover?

Thanks.  :)

I was going for a faded vintage Vhs tape cover effect. However, if people prefer a more vibrant colored cover, I can go with that. This is what it looks like when I take the majority of the faded effects off.

Do you guys prefer it this way? I will go with whatever the majority prefers on this one.
