so this last end of the semester hasn't exactly been to kind to me. injury after injury, mishap after mishap- not exactly getting a break. even worse when it's your drawing arm that's to blame for most of your pain and woe- i got an official diagnosis last week of mild tendinitis- but it still hurts like a bitch to draw or use the computers.
i'm slowly working it out though- yesterday i was able to [slowly] churn out two cover mock-ups for my grad project. they're really basic b/c that's all i can manage right now, but i like them.

| concept one: more story oriented. ties into final storytelling assignment |
this forst one is based off a storyline i'm working on in my HUMN 312 class- Sharifa [The Flagette of Strength] accidentally stumbles upon a black militant group that has been brainwashing girls with 'non-natural' hair into cutting their locks and submitting to their army. her teammates Sanchala [The Flagette of the Sea] and Sorcha [The Flagette of the Sun] have stormed into the groups hideout just in time to see a defeated Sharifa about to get her hair cut-off by the militant group's leader.
 |
| concept two: more overall 'message' oriented |
this one is a lot easier to read- i got inspiration form various old comic book covers, and it's closely tied into my first disastrous attempt at a cover. it shows the trio walking past a 'Wanted' poster about The Flagettes- trying to remain inconspicuous, but still otherwise agitated that despite the good they do, they're still wanted like common thugs.
i have a larger concept illustration in mind for both covers, but i think that only the first one is going to be properly developed [since i am working on actual panels and pages for that class' assignment]. here's hoping i find a way to complete them all in time.
