Issue 4 Variant Cover...The Audacity of Nope

I finished the variant cover last night. This is, of course, modeled after the famous cover of "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama. It was one of those things that was too perfect to not do. I actually took shots of the real book, scrubbed the cover clean in Photoshop and then superimposed my color drawing of Psychoboy on it with some lettering. I just wish the book really existed, though I suspect it'd probably end up being one chapter before Psycho got bored and moved on to something else. With the covers out of the way I'll be diving head first into promotional art and drawing the issue now. I'll be getting into the plot and scope of the issue in my next post.

 

 

Issue Four Cover Pencils...Pscyhoboy Gets His Obama On!

Here's the pencils for the covers for issue four I drew at last Saturday's comic convention. Since Psychoboy is running for office, I felt it was only appropriate to lampoon the most famous political graphic of our time (the Obama Hope poster) and for the variant cover, the cover of "The Audacity of Hope," which is almost as famous. I'm hoping to have these done this weekend, along with more work on the issue.  I'll talk more about the issue and Psychoboy's epic campaign a little later, stay tuned!
