  1. If they picked any one of them it would of been great! Can’t wait to see more!!!

  2. Wow, I love stuff like this. Seeing the process of how an artist puts together the cover always impresses me. What were the reasons behind changing the perspectives? Without seeing a final version of the first one, I think the looking up version could have been a better final cover. The one you ended up with was great too. Not trying to take anything away from it. Just interested in thought process behind the choices.

    Love your work on BB, and hope to see more of these style posts.

  3. Thanks guys.

    When DC asked me to draw the covers, i suggested 3 angles, and they pick the last one. Honestly, my favorite is the second.
