Chapter 1 : Cover

Details:
I decided to shuffle a few things around, making most of the prologue a part of chapter 1. I know, why bother with a prologue if its only going to have two pages? Ah well.

As the comic above illustrates, I like incorporating the cover into the story, rather than making a glorified pinup. I also like to add a little foreshadowing.

On a technical note: while this comic was inked digitally like my previous pages, the inking for this page was done in Illustrator CS (as opposed to PS7). The results were somewhat smoother, and a lot easer to manipulate.

The rest of the process was still handled in photoshop of course.

Finally, the the lunar image was provided royalty-free by NASA.gov.
