Major Project Cover Making Process of Asena - The Spirit Guardian

This is the final piece of the Comic Cover but lets get to the Processes of this outcome...




...First I started with making sketches and ideas to how to create an Comic Cover and I made this:

I reseaech for ides on the Internet, Pinterest and also used the printed pictures of mine:


I just printed these to make the wolf more visual on my side.


Secondly, I searched and find some images of wolfes, Comic Covers and fonts.

I also find templates and the elements that have been used to make a Comic Cover.

After that I setelled on my female wolf character, I drew the main character to fit on the cover, and I went Canva to edit the image.

This was the first template of the cover.

Then I change the font and style but I'm stuck between 2 options 
 How should colours of title be like?
Background - Words same colour? Or


They same as the background.

After that I decided to make it the same as background.

I found a tag on Google (I think this is a barcode of a dress) but anyways I got this and add easteregg on it

My name and my nickname :D

I putted on my canvas

I also add my logo on right bottom corner

 I've putted the barcode and some details abot the comic on left bottom corner

I used 'Comica' font for the details.

Then I started editing the name of brand on top.

Finally I downloaded as a PNG file on rigt top corner of the Canva website

Further Research - Lynd Ward ‘God’s Man’, 1929

               

                      Lynd Ward was an American artist. He made God’s Man in 1929. It is a wordless novel, meaning there are no words, only pictures. The story is about a young artist who gets a magic paintbrush. This brush gives him success, but it also brings problems. He struggles with money, love, and freedom. In the end, he tries to escape but meets a tragic fate.





Ward used a special art style called Expressionism. His pictures are black and white with strong shadows. They create deep emotions and tell the story in a powerful way. He was inspired by German artists like Frans Masereel.




God’s Man is important because it was one of the first graphic novels in America. It influenced many artists, including Will Eisner. Even today, people admire Ward’s work because it looks beautiful and tells a strong story.
