main guy on the cover

Since Zero #14 is out, I can finally show this cover that I've been sitting on for nearly two years (click for a slightly bigger picture) --

I still like it, which is a rare case. Maybe it's my favorite, even. I remember being sick to my stomach of drawing another picture of the main guy standing, and really wanted to find any other way of including him on the cover. Luckily, the plot of the issue provided a direction. I ended up drawing a different issue, so this one was drawn by Marek Oleksicki, who did a really great job.

There were also labels for things, which didn't make it to the final cover, but they help explain some objects -- particularly the circle in the middle.

I made this animatic while working on the cover for Zero #9, which is out today. The final cover was put together by Tom Müller:

familiar places, in black and white

 a few black and white bits from Zero #9 - I expect a color preview, with colors by Jordie Bellaire, will pop up sometime soon.
