Trying to get back into the game so started a new cover. That's what I've got so far:

Still think the TT would benefit from being solid, but maybe that's just me. It would give it some more omph IMO

Sweet spine. Did you use any filters or add ons when you worked on the characters (on the front)?

I think I'll keept the title the way it is now, at least for the moment. Maybe I'll change my mind when I get on with the back. ^^

Yes I did.

At first I've corrected the lights on their bodies/clothes/skins as good as possible via cloning, then I've removed the rim lights (especially on Dwayne and the wolf). When the artwork was done I've made a copy of it, merged it into one layer and made three more copies of the merged layer.

On the one at the bottom I've used a Topaz Clean 3 filter called "Curly Smooth" and set the opacity of the layer to 80%.
On the next one above I've used Akvis Sketch and set the layer to overlay and the opacity to 50%.
Next one above got a Akvis HDR filter and was set to color with an opacity of 30%.
On the last copie on the top I've used a Topaz Adjust filter called "Clarity" and reduced the opacity to 60%.

Apart of that I've used some black & white filters here and there to reduce the colors and painted some color layers (set to screen) for the fires and explosions.

Both of the Topaz filters I've used with standard settings, for both of the Akvis filters (Sketch & HDR) I've been playing around with the settings and didn't use theirs. I can post them of course if you want to know. ^^
