Ripface Invasion

Here's something different for me. I recently worked on a music CD cover for a band named Ripface Invasion. I'm showing the steps of this assignment from start to finish.

First, the thumbnailed idea from artist Joe Martino.........

Next comes the tightened up layout, adding a few more elements.......

Then, the finished line drawing. I skipped the finished penciling phase and went straight to inks on the layout.

Then, colorist Thomas Mason was brought in to make the piece come alive.

And finally, here's the front cover with logo added.

And there it is. Look for this cover in stores, folks!
