  3. I'll tell you why I like it better. Loki in the bottom left corner anchors this new cover so well. Great addition.

  5. Thanks for all the kind words. Most of the credit should go to Art Adams as I copied the poses of each character from different panels in the book's interior. I'm really poor at figure drawing.

  6. Oh god, the palette is absolutely gorgeous, along with the general restraint of the design.

    It's like a really awesome art deco poster.

    I dig. I dig very much.

  7. I really like this cover, well done! You turned Adams work into almost a Moebius tribute (i my opinion) cheers!
