One thing. You don't need the text. I know each issue is someone's first. But the text is hurting your art. I think its ugly. On all the covers, I long for the text to dissappear. Please consider removing the quotes. Psychologically, I think the cover is stronger without them. |
Thanks!
I'm glad you like the design.
I think it is one of the bolder Kabuki cover designs.
Wait until you see the rest of the issue!
And hey, no reason to not still have your thing for Akemi!
Your song for her still rings in my head right now.

I agree with Goodman that the quotes and text take away from the image on the cover, this one being for solicitation i understand.
As to the Artbook, what I'd like to see are some of the covers, with some making of shots. Also a sketchbook section much like reflections. Maybe some never before seen/exclusive art.
I'd do a seperate "Kabuki, the covers" book.
That's just my opinion. |
Good call!
To collect all Kabuki covers.
Have making of some covers. Step by step photos of them in process.
Sketches and initial layouts for covers.
And some new art.
In one big oversized hardcover collection. |

Then, will you PLEASE do a complilation of your other covers? I like the idea of all the Kabuki covers in one book, but you know there are lots of us out there who would very much like to see the Daredevil and Alias covers in a retrospective.
Especially since the Playing to the Camera arc was never put into a trade or the hardcovers. Maybe some people didn't care for the story, but the covers were some of my favorites. I know I'm not alone here.
Oh...and the new cover...wow! _________________ Alice

Yeah I would like to collect all my non Kabuki covers too.
There are 22 Daredevil covers and 32 Alias covers that I did. 6 Ruule covers, 3 Swampthing covers and more.
It would be fun to have all those in a book too. With the initial drawings for the designs and commentary on it. And show some process of how I do it. |

Many thanks for the compliments
I love the Dr. Strange artwork on your website! You did an amazing job drawing his his face, which perfectly communicates the strain of his life as a sorcerer.
I'm definitely bookmarking your site
