Hurrah and hurray-- the official cover to the printed second chapter of Legendary Beings Ara & Celi!

Originally I had planned to simply retouch and recolor the original cover, seen here:

But I didn't really want to do that since, well, my skills have improved vastly since then. Plus I realized naked people wasn't going to do it this time around 8| I had multiple ideas instead of simply having Miyara with a split image of something, or something further related to the chapter title of Incarnation (that which is made flesh.) Then I just trashed all those ideas because they honestly just didn't FIT, and went "Hey! Let's just do the same idea with a different perspective + setting this time!"

Hence the hospital-esque setup now I think it looks a LOT better now, haha.

Unfortunately I was so much in a hurry I forgot to plan for logo space... So part of the top will be covered, but not much that the idea will be lost. Hopefully.

As the weenie I am, I did all the elements separately here. Most of this was colored with watercolors, accentuated with Copics and/or acrylics. Also used some white-out for more accents. And then I proceeded to tone up some shadows and such on Photoshop, along with the customary image adjustments. I have no clue if certain aspects are still visible despite full-on "shininess", since well *I* can see them but that's because I've have to look at this cover multiple times when preparing for print @_@;;

Bonus cookies to anyone who notices something else different though


The comic will be sold at MetaCon this coming weekend and at Midwest Comicon in November! However, post MetaCon I will be having it for sale either on my Etsy store or on separate journals, along with the other new comics I've printed this year! More info to come when the time arrives.
