WORK STAGES on EMPOWERED OMNIBUS vol.3's cover illo, pt.2: Coloring drafts ahoy!
🕑 Added 2021-10-27 13:01:03 +0000 UTCHere are the color draft stages for my character-packed cover for the recently released Empowered Omnibus vol.3, which compiles regular Empowered volumes 7-9 in honkin' big TPB form. (Of course, this cover was originally done for the out-of-print Empowered Deluxe vol.3, which compiled the same material along with a whole lotta bonus material in a limited-edition hardcover collection.)
In order, the jpegs above go as follows:
*First-draft colors by the fine lads of Guru eFX, who have colored many projects for me over the years, including the Venom: The End one-shot semi-recently;
*A flagged correction guide marked up by me, presumably accompanied by an email explaining in more detail what I wanted changed;
*The final colors, incorporating those changes;
*Dark Horse Production's mock-up of the final Deluxe cover, with a placement of the PARENTAL ADVISORY sticker at lower left that I didn't care for;
*The corrected cover mock-up, with the sticker moved to avoid fully covering up the "Ayakami Badass Sundress Waif," as I dubbed the character from Empowered vol.7's ninja fest;
*and finally, the color drafts seen in our previous B&W Work Stages post, in case you wanted to compare and contrast 'em with the final colors.
Interestingly, I spotted another potential Work Stages post a-lurking in the Deluxe vol. 3 folder, so stand by for another installment next month, this time relating to the limited edition's bonus material.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: I'm gonna try to finish off October with a full week of posts, for the first time in a while. Golly! (Though, alas, you're gonna have to be at the higher Patron tiers to see 'em all.) Not yet sure what order they're gonna be in, howeva. Let's find out together, shall we?

It's crazy how specific you're being with the colors !!

I always love just how distinctly identifiable every character is just from even a small headshot. And Emp's growing confidence in her place in cape society definitely comes through from her pose.
