This was a great cover. The red and yellow just makes the center pop.

"A Departed Member Of X-Factor Returns"

Does that mean Darwin will come back? that would be cool if he does.

Seattle?! that's where I live!
how did you do the Benday dots? a gradient then halftone filter, or something else? I like them!

davidyardin In reply to MrMunkeepants [2012-01-30 22:13:53 +0000 UTC]

I think it was two gradients and halftone filter from memory.

Thanks.

Yeah I did a few different colour schemes for Monet, but that's the one they went with. In hindsight it looks a little close to Jakita.
