I was going to make something to enter this months cover challenge but then realized just how rusty I have become making covers after so long away so thought I'd turn to WIP for help instead... be kind hung up my tablet like 10 years-ish ago.

I like it a lot. A few minor details: some glow from the embers could be reflected on the TT? And I think the spine TT should face the other way. Other than that, keep going!

Thanks, JR - I'll play with the TT next :) you are so right about the spine, will spin it to see if it sits better - if not might remake it in a line.

I'm not overly keen on the sketch effect in the background and the effect on Bruce, other than that great start!

Thanks, Sauron, I was dabbling with some of the fashionable painted effects I see around, but clearly need some practice - anyone recommend a tut on that?

This look better? - will get to the title treatments later...

Sorry, buddy added more fire :) Tweaked the TT also as the perspective was crap.

What a pleasant surprise, I like the latest version best, but i feel like the car and helicopter in the background takes some of the focus away from Bruce, maybe reduce the opacity a little or darken it to make Bruce pop a little more?

Please keep my covers on this site and this site only!
