Pencils: J.Korim | Colours: me
When Korim was giving me some visual refs to use for this cover, most of them had this yellow, red, and dark brown kinda tone to them. Even had a photoshopped version of his cover layout so I know where the lighting should go. It made me think of the 300 movie. I took a hint and just ran with it focusing mainly on tones, which was kinda tough because the silhouettes. I made up for that using some light and dust effects here and there to slightly pop out the character shown here, Petra.
I had fun with the clouds in the background, there was just so much space for me to play with.
In this issue, Korim bugged me to put in some HTK-ish highlights whenever I could just so I could make the characters pop out more. I did, as sparingly as I could so it didn't look overdone. I think it looks better than the third issue.

wow, love what you did with the coloring/tones... it really did give it that "warrior" ruskish feel to it. clouds are awesome... not to overdone as simplicity is always key :) .
