Love all that detail!
Always fun to get a cover and a perfect post for the fourth. Love all the weapons! Congrats and May the 4th be with you as well!
In the May of the fourth
I was told what it means to be a fan
Now I've reached that page
I've tried to collect those things the best I can
No matter what I buy
I find my way to the Legends camp
Good times, Dark Times
I know you love to share
When my canon left home
For a Jedi man
Well, I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love
With a world that’s sweet by Wheatley
It only took a couple of pays
'Til it was sent to me
I swore that it would be all mine
And love this ‘til the end
But Jedi on “Path to Nowhere”
I got this cover sent
Good times, Dark Times
We know you had to share
When Anakin left home
For a Jedi man
Well, I still got Star Wars here
hell yeah. nicely done Marcus. One of my fav Zeppelin songs. I engineered/produced another band covering it way back in the day nearly 20 years ago in Boston and this sparked a random memory from that
Nice! He's got a beautiful, fine lined detailed style. Maybe consider posting a second scan with the line art darkened in Photoshop so people can see the lines better?
Thanks Ruben! yeah the very fine lined detail is what drew me to the cover, almost Mobius like or Geoff Darrow perhaps. I've never tweaked a picture or scan in photoshop of pencils to make the lines more visible though. Is that common to do for the main image or did you mean for a secondary image option?
Yeah, Mobius & Geoff Darrow-esque is exactly what it made me think of. As for darkening the scan of a "pencils only" piece, I mean as an additional image for sure. No one should ever manipulate the main image to make it appear as if it's darker than it appears in person. I'm just suggesting making a copy of the scan and darkening the line art with the "Levels" tool in Photoshop, or lightness and contrast if that's your preference, and adding it as an additional image and mentioning it in the description. Just because it's obvious the line art is great, but it's so nice looking that it would be even better if we could see it more clearly, as it's very light and difficult to get a good view of.
It's not typical of me to re-respond to a year old comment but I finally got a better scan of this cover, the linework is far more visible now finally. No photoshop involved just a goood color scan
That's the way! Unh hunh, unh hunh, I like it! A good scan is all you need.
This is the May! I have a noticeable Wheatley hole in my Dark Horse era portfolios, that might just be my next OA quest. He conjured some stunning alien panoramas and alien species throughout his run on this series. I especially love those dinosaur inspired Nosaurians. This one is a banger, Kavi!
Gorgeous Kavi! Congrats!
Fantastic cover! Love Wheatley's work!
That's some CLEAN line work, man, congrats! Really meticulous stuff, mixed with a nice composition.
