Those “Sentinels” covers… mind officially blown!

Thanks. Although the original illustrations weren’t necessarily intended to hold together thematically (for example, issue 213 was originally meant as a subtle allusion to a certain bottled city kept in a certain superhero’s fortress of something-or-other), after a while I started to see how they “fit” with each other and decided to do a little wish fulfillment experiment.

I feel I need to offer a disclaimer though – while all of the illustrations were done with HeroMachine, I added the barcodes, comics code seal, and some text in Photoshop.

Cool gorilla assault! I like it.

I’m not sure which color approach I like better; leaning toward the second one without black outlines.

Would it be possible to mix them up a bit? The lower picture is clearer , but the details on the character become a bit muddled. Maybe deepen the outlines on the character, even just slightly? Especially the boots and the hat don’t look quite as nice.

Both are excellent pictures, though.

[RobM]

I see what you mean. Thanks.

Given Suleman’s comments, I rethought the character’s coloring and did a “camouflage” version. Now in my head, it’s a chameleon suit that automatically adapts to its surroundings. Perfect for a little “B&E” and revenge, of course. There’s always revenge.

[Suleman]

That’s neat!

[The Atomic Punk]

I like all the versions. The biggest kick that I get is that you included a gate on the castle. That’s detail!

[RobM]

Thanks, guys.
