Cover art
Added 2025-01-31 21:37:22 +0000 UTCBeen working on cover concepts for the Bad Space book. None of these have made the cut, but it's real fun exploring the possibilities.
Meanwhile, the comic files are now with the publisher, so we are moving pretty fast.

Fantastic! My absolute pleasure.

2025-02-11 04:19:35 +0000 UTCI was worried that one was a bit over the top! But youโre right: thatโs kinda the vibe you need to catch peopleโs attention
Scott Base
2025-02-03 18:17:23 +0000 UTCYeah that close up vibe feels worth more investigation.

2025-02-03 18:16:03 +0000 UTCThe seventh panel feels isolated in a way that "space in the horror genre" is best communicated.

2025-02-02 22:36:50 +0000 UTCI like the skeleton astronaut reaching forward. It will catch attention in a bookstore.

2025-02-02 15:50:44 +0000 UTCHuh, i hadnt thought of that! I might have a play and see how that looks today
Scott Base
2025-02-01 19:15:37 +0000 UTCI spent all yesterday reworking that one and i think maybe weโre close to something now ๐

2025-02-01 19:14:11 +0000 UTCUsing the monkey in the cover (same picture as your avatar) would make it instantly recognizable from a distance in a bookstore.

2025-02-01 14:37:05 +0000 UTCThat's the sort of thing I'm accustomed to here tbh

2025-01-31 23:01:49 +0000 UTCNeeeevaaaaar! What is this, Mercy Space?
Scott Base
2025-01-31 22:59:24 +0000 UTCMy hubris, exposed and expired. Mercy, I beg of you ๐คฃ

2025-01-31 22:52:02 +0000 UTCShouldn't you be asking, why is there an astronaut there at all?
Scott Base
2025-01-31 22:50:30 +0000 UTCNot the moon, obviously. On an asteroid making a close approach. Stop trying to catch me out! ๐คฃ
Scott Base
2025-01-31 22:50:03 +0000 UTCPossibly a silly/irrelevant question: if that's Theia, where is the astronaut standing?

2025-01-31 22:46:39 +0000 UTCAww thanks Ella! I know the skull-in-spacesuit concept has been done by a few artists in the past, but I really want to do my own version - so I'm going to keep trying to get it perfect โค๏ธ
Scott Base
2025-01-31 22:05:35 +0000 UTCOooh really like the last one, your art is so beautiful ๐

2025-01-31 21:54:44 +0000 UTCI feel like that's close, right? I've started again from scratch and it's too early to say but I'm feeling more hopeful for this new version.
Scott Base
2025-01-31 21:53:09 +0000 UTC๐๐๐ By the way, the one with the planet collision - THAT'S a visual! It would make for a powerful cover.

2025-01-31 21:50:16 +0000 UTCHahaha! Yesss, that is my plan: souls taste so good! ๐คฃ
Scott Base
2025-01-31 21:47:27 +0000 UTCAlways looking for feedback from my patreons tbh. Not so much on the free-for-all of Instagram, but here I kinda trust that you get my work in a deeper way.
Scott Base
2025-01-31 21:45:23 +0000 UTCYes! I feel like it's the right vibe, just the parts aren't quite there yet. I've started on a new version completely from scratch and I'm already feeling better about it.
Scott Base
2025-01-31 21:43:09 +0000 UTCAll of those *didn't* make the cut?? Makes me very intrigued to see what DID! ๐ You got some really good ones here, Scott! ๐๐ป๐๐ป And dang - already moving along with the publisher?? That's terrific! ๐ Soon the Bad Space shall expand and take hold of many a household, and even manyer a soul! ๐พ
Amit Ungar
2025-01-31 21:42:46 +0000 UTCFantastic - I'm working on a new version with that today!
Scott Base
2025-01-31 21:41:28 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for feedback - I agree that you're onto something with #3.

2025-01-31 21:40:20 +0000 UTCLove the second Theia one, it speaks to grandeur and scale of your stories!
