I'm still penciling page one, but had the urge to start on the cover. The image has been sitting in my head for the entire day. I'm going along the same lines as the gryphon cover I did for my last special problems class. Large mass of black with detail in important areas, minimal color. This also helps me figure out exactly how the two main characters look. The boy (Lan) looks how I imagined him. Just needs more rendering. The back figure (call him chough), still needs more reference. I see him looking like christian bale. lol
