The new cover for my comic "The Story From Hell" (<--- Click to Read)

I can say I'm very happy with this (and because it was suggested multiple times, I went with the red text this time around).

First of, it looks ALOT cleaner. I'm glad I decided to draw Lucifer and Satan on seperate boards this time. I played a bit more on color in this one as well, and got pretty bold with it. But I'm really enjoying that shade of blue. I also went into a bit more graphic design on the logo (it was so plain before) without losing the original feel.

I'm also happy with that subtle glow on the highlights of Lucifers hair (if you can see it XD ) Ain't photoshop grand.

Now... Satan's color doesn't have as much depth on this cover as the last one (also I was using Open Canvas instead of Painter 8 ) but you know, I think it works better in this instance. Because it really makes the red text flow, plus he stands out more, he's got more of a presense.

Of course that could also be due to his new pose. He's still got a sort of innocent and confused/lost look on his face, but its coupled with his usual self-righteous indignation. And he seems a little more defiant, his hips and upper body are now tilted in opposite directions (though his hips are much more prominent) and his feet are planted firmly on the ground. Also his arms are slightly loose by his sides, but his hands are holding fast to that chain showing he means business.

I'm proud to say I think I summed up his entire character in that pose and expression.

Oooh, yeah..I definately like the red for the text. Really makes it pop out.
And I am amazed at how you can make Satan look so cute and innocent and still able to kick everyone's ass. ^.^
Plus I can't get enough of his cloven-hoof boots! They're just so cool and an original take on the image. *pokes his boots*
And Lucifer...well...I think you already know how I feel about Lucifer....
I do indeed like that effect of the shines on his hair. Yes...:nod:

Ooh, that looks very good. Satan's pose rocks, I love how he's holding the chain. And I just adore how Lucifer looks... I love the highlights! *__*

This cover is alot nicer than the last one. ^^ I like the background coloring, and how u played the feather element into the word art. And Lucifer's eyes is standing out too against the rest. I like how u did Satan here, he has an innocent look on his face.
Open Canvas can do quite alot, I like the simiplicty of the program, but it can only work in 72 dpi... and if i import a 300 dpi file its becoming hard to work on because it wouldn't zoom in. X_X Well its a good starter though... honestly other painting programs are not as user friendly.

You're art is brilliant, and I love the new pose. Lucifer rocks, I love the hair. He looks so evil in this one. The blue is great.
I love the feathers...yeh, gotta love the feathers...

Yeah the dpi is my biggest problem with it, although I can change he dpi back to what I need in Photoshop. But I like to keep my drawings reasonably small on the screen, which means they'd print out tiny, so I always work in 720 dpi so I can blow them up on paper without losing quality XD
