Description
This is the tentative cover design for Hollow Fields volume two, which will be out around May 2008. It still hasn't been approved and 'tweaked' by the editors, so hopefully not too much will change, because it took me a while!Lucy's the only character from the volume one cover remaining; this time she's surrounded by Mr Croach (the creepy-looking guy with the spade), Claude (lower left), Summer (purple hair) and Carmen (freaking out). They all get a bit of page time in the next volume, that's why I picked them for the cover. The compostitional gap in the top third of the image is to allow for the title logo.
Looks like Lucy is surrounded by potential enemies in volume two!
Pen and ink, Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
EDIT: Daily Deviantion! Wow! Since some folks have noted me asking about the manga, here's some info!
Hollow Fields is and all-ages manga (featuring a school for junior evil geniuses) published by Seven Seas Entertainment (they also do Afro Samurai, Boogiepop, and a bunch of other mangas!).
Also, I just uploaded the cover art for volume three a week ago. Check it out!

Only things that I see wrong is her skirt, it doesn't seem natural.
Other than that, it's one helluva an excellent image!

Wow, that's awesome! The composition is really fantastic, and I love the colors.
Plus, does Lucy have a giant wrench? WIN.

Aw...May D?? Oh well just have to wait xD.
I hope the cover stays the same too because I like how this one looks. For some reason I really like how it looks like Dino is chewing on the wrench.

No prob^^
One question though.
in the ,anga, at the end, were there talking about the characters.
It says that Summer's hair was initially black,then went blonde when i decieded there were to many dark characters in the series, and sge needed to stand out.then its says lilac in color.
Im confused on which one it is, and what is lilac color?

Clockwork7 In reply to sasorisgirlfriend [2007-12-16 10:17:01 +0000 UTC]
Lilac is purple - Summer is the girl with the purple hair to the right there.

Um, sorta... Haha, I was about to say, I KNOW MR. Croach and Summer were in the last volume!
Heh~ It's because you said "remaining", as if the others have GONE... Maybe if you said "Lucy is the only character from the first issue cover to appear again on the second issue cover".

I'm not even going to ask how long it took you to draw the background and all those gears. Pure death.
With that being said, salutations for getting this done at such a high quality and professional level. You're work is always exceptionally well drawn.
