Wow it's been awhile since I've posted anything....
Without further ado here's the first issue cover for my comic idea, "Neumo."
A story about a undead broccoli kid with a sword made by Darwin.
Yeah it's weird.



So my New Years resolution was to at least finish the 1st issue of the comic, and so far things are going along well enough. I get a few hours in after work each day, and the story is coming together.
This cover was an interesting struggle simply because I started out the 'Super Hero' way, which is to just plaster a big picture of the main character for the cover, but I wasn't ecstatic about the results. I guess I feel that big character art only sells books where people know who the character is. This is a lot more mysterious, and I'm hoping it will draw people into picking up the book and flipping through it.

Arlen, This is stunning. When a piece makes the viewer reflect on multiple levels about multiple first reactions, you know you have succeeded..more to follow
