Thanks for all the comments guys.

I find myself lured into going fully retail, but then realise that certain elements can be quite restrictive and end up tweaking things anyway. Case in point: the little C at the top center. It bugs me now I've noticed it, so I'll remove it on the next update.

Thanks guys.

I originally had the tagline all aligned, but centered it to add the little arch in the top left. Couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Have removed it now and pushed the specs box over too.

Option 4 it is, then. Just brightened the dark grey tone slightly.

Ok, so I've quickly tried a few different combinations of layers set to grey scale. One thing I've done on all of them is mute the saturation somewhat, which I think helps to take it away from the horror look.

Thoughts?

QUOTE (Bunny Dojo @ Nov 20 2017, 06:56 AM) It's wonderful to see you back in action with another exciting, innovative cover!

Your illustrations are so powerful on their own, I think going all-red and the hand-written title might push things too far into terrifying "slasher" territory. Like Sauron ...

Wasn't happy with the background so, after playing around with it a bit, decided to simplify it. Prefer the bridge arch this way, and how it interacts a little with the TT.

Recently watched this one for the first time and thought it'd make for an interesting cover. Ctaulbee already has a fantastic version in the gallery, which I came across after I'd begun this.

Haven't found too many high quality source images, so have gone with the vector style similar to my Baby ...

QUOTE (Fidi @ Nov 18 2017, 08:10 AM) This is awesome m8!

Hopefully I'm not to late to the party but I'd move up the title on the spine so it's in the middle of the black between the head and the yellow area.
And I'd remove the bullet holes. You only have a very few of them and since they very ...
