Description
The cover to the Fan Dan Go book! We're currently organising it all. It'll contain the first three chapters, plus few extra bits. The continuity errors will be cleaned up and the art will be much higher resolution. The comic is online, by the way, at:[link]
This image I used a new technique; I did the thumbnail digitally. The great thing about doing the thumbnail digitally is that you can easily rearrange bits and make a mockup. It also allows you to put the colours in there quickly. This meant that when I got the paper out and started drawing, I knew exactly what I needed to draw and where it'd fit into the overall design.
I had made one (pretty terrible) attempt at a cover already and wanted to try again. I started with the logo as the centrepoint for the design this time and used a lot more white space so there'd be a sense of an explosion of colour.

It's £8, I'm aware that's not super cheap, but it's a full colour, perfect bound book of around 100 pages. Available from the Indiemanga shop.

^_^ Cool. There are plenty in stock, so no worries. If you don't want to pay the extra £1 shipping, I can bring it along to the workshop next month and give you a signed copy in person.

Thanks! It's just a case of finding some good brushes generally. There are loads of sites online where you can get special Photoshop brushes if you look.
