Captain Britain Variant Coverby ~davidyardin

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Pages

This is the cover for Captain Britain and MI-13 #5 Monkey Variant I did recently.

Man this cover kicked my butt from layout to finish.

It took me a while to get ideas for this cover, unlike the other monkey variant I did (Ms. Marvel). In the end my editor suggested a King Kong angle, so I layed it out and was getting started pencilling it up, when I noticed an online preview where another Marvel monkey variant had used a similar concept. So I had to put my cover on hold, and wait for editorial approval on whether to still proceed or not.

In the end it eventually got greenlit, but by then there was not a lot of time left to work on it, especially considering I was in the middle of finishing up something else, then I got sick, and BIG BEN IS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO DRAW!!!

Anyway I

did the pencils and inks on this, and you can view the coloured version in John Rauch's

gallery.

Wonderful drawing, and all those blacks on Big Ben really makes it work!

~davidyardin Sep 8, 2008 Professional

Thanks Bill. I should have thrown more big black shadows in, to obscure some detail, and save myself some drawing time

*BillReinhold Sep 8, 2008 Professional

I know what you mean. Black can make good design and the simplicity may save time. I've used my fair share of silhouettes in stories and it helped save time but I think it also improved my work.

But her that detail was definitely worth the time.

PLEASE tell me Meagan's alive again, I miss her=]

I have no idea.

I only used her on this cover, so he could have a damsel to hold, that was somehow related to him.
