I got a very cool email from David Wohl last week.Subject: Next Innocents Cover.
Content: "It's time."
They wanted me back!
So what you saw last was the San Diego exclusive cover. I will be pocketing many of these babies when I head over there. What they're looking for this time is the world-wide distribution cover.
With that in mind I wanted something that really tied in with the last cover. I wanted those at San Diego to recognise the colours, imagery, character and design.
This time I wanted something a little bit more close up to Grace. Something a little more "in-your-face".
Roger had been commenting that he wanted to get away from the sword. While the sword was a nice gesture to her being a fighter, she doesn't use a sword at all in the first issue. So I decided to give her boxing wraps instead (any of my clients reading this can gape appreciatively at the perfection of her wraps). I really liked the Ying-Yang elbow pads which I hope lend her a slightly X-games feel. I kept the cap to keep her fashion designer branding.
Next up: Annette's colouring magic!

The wraps are great. Did they take less time to draw them than it takes me to put them on at training. (it wouldn't be hard)
MITCH: Heh. Man, I drew the entire thing in the time it takes you to do your wraps!
DAZ: I draw on three separate layers in photoshop. A 100% black layer, a 50% layer and a 20% layer. The hair texture is a combination of both. I do this so I give Annette more info and help give her an idea of my light sources.
