FMP: Covers

Being as the actual comic won't be finished for the deadline, It makes the most sense to mock up the outside and the inside rather than submitting a load of half finished illustrations (or illustrations that just haven't had the right amount of care put into them).

Here are the proposed front covers for the first 3 comics. Ideally I think i'd want there to be a small collection of them alltogether to create a long story, but to start with, i'll start with 3.
Alot of the story is to do with journeying into the forest, so I wanted to keep that in the covers. I originally wanted to do a variation of different places such as a big golden field with a purple sky and a skull island but both of those bits won't come til later so for the being it makes the most sense to focus on the forest.

The first cover I planned out ahead that I wanted it to go from black, to dark green and to a light green. I planned this first so I could mix my gouache to blend, leave to dry and then come back to it. I wanted something inviting and colourful. I have put a fire there because it is my intention to digitally put in the main character J.

For the second cover I wanted to show a sunrise, in contrast to the falling dark in the first image. At the moment I'm not sure whether I will be leaving the tree's white or not.
For the last one, It was originally an alternative to the second, but I liked it so much and it felt different so I have kept it. I was thinking about having nightmares at the bottom so it looks like the waterfall is spilling the words.

I haven't digitalised them yet so i think once theyve had their levels adjusted its going to become clearer what I should do next.
