Pencillings for the cover of Oubliette 8 are now finished. Pete's gone for the Ettin .When I do the covers for Oubliette, I constrain my drawing with one question: How will it look as a thumbnail when it comes to sale?
About twenty years ago, I used to cartoon for a multi-cultural magazine called Dost (means friend in Hindi). One of things that they liked about my cartoons was that they could blow them up or shrink them down, and they wouldn't lose detail. I honestly don't know how that works, it's one of the weirdo features of my style.
Anyway, it may be of interest to note that the figures on the covers have deliberate geometric symmetry, for example, Issues no5 and no2 are based on a cross shape, Issues no7 and no3 are based on right-angled triangles. These shapes appear to translate well when shrunk down in size.
Right, enough bumf. Back to work. Mouse Watch time. Ye olde D&D-ers may particularly enjoy what I have planned...
Love the new cover and love the magazine, just received all my issues in the mail, thanks!
