Combat Rough!

I thought you might like to see what the cover to Combat Colin No.2 looked like in the pencil stage, compared to the finished version.

For a bit of fun, I've merged the two together here so you can see how the construction lines work...

Pencil: Primacolor Col-Erase 20068 Light Blue
Inks: Zig Mangaka Flexible Fine, UniPin Fine Line (various sizes).
Colour: Photoshop.
Lettering: Fonts bought from Comicraft.

Combat Colin No.2 will be out in a few weeks time and will be available directly from me at my online shop! More news soon!
