HEAT WAVES for metalbenders
hello again everyone! today i present to you a comic cover for my amazing friend taryn's upcoming x-men fic, heat waves! starring none other than my love, alex summers. i've wanted to work with x-men resources for forever (x-men resources other than jean grey and madelyne pryor, at least) so i jumped at the chance to make this cover for taryn. in fairness, i jump at the chance to make anything for taryn, but when it involves alex summers? no hesitation. none.this cover ended up being a lot less complex than i had originally envisioned. that's not necessarily a bad thing, however... sometimes, less is more! i went with a minimalistic colour palette this time around, mostly to avoid the visual confusion that a full-colour palette would've created. both resources i used for this cover were, in lieu of a better word, busy. reducing the cover to a few colours made the resources a lot easier to work with. it also made it easier to incorporate the title; i was set on distorting it, and if the base images that comprised the cover had been too distracting i definitely would've had to go a different route with the text treatment.
ramble over!
