This was Sean's original render of the final page. When I got it I had mixed emotions because I thought it was an amazing piece with a lot to love. But, as much as I dug it there was a problem- to me it felt like Grip was in the middle of trying to recover. Not relaxing and catching his breath, but struggling to regain his strength and composure.
I felt very strongly that the ending page had to be a release of tension, a period at the end of a sentence. So, crazy as it sounds, I asked Sean to re-draw it. Sean's a professional and didn't bat an eye.
The bonus was that I thought it worked great as a back cover so there you go- back cover. |
