PARAGON #10 Cover Art

I proudly present the cover art for the upcoming issue 10 of excellent British small press title Paragon. The actual cover is slightly different - editor Davey Candlish requested a deep red background as opposed to the grey-blue one I've used here. I quite like this one personally, so thought I'd show it here - and when the comic comes out you can see the red version.

The brief was simple - a montage depicting the 4 main characters featured inside the issue: Icarus Dangerous, Mekko-Sapiens, Spencer Nero and Jikan. Had the most fun with Jikan, and just had to give him the spotlight! I also begged Dave to let me include Battle Ganesh - who doesn't feature in this particular issue - simply because I love the character.

More Jikan pics

Did these in preparation for my forthcoming cover for PARAGON #10, which will feature a montage of 5 characters - Jikan himself, Battle Ganesh (who doesn't actually feature in the issue but I really wanted to draw), Mekko-Sapiens, Icarus and Spencer Nero.

The cover work is nearly all drawn - just got Icarus to do, then I'll be colouring it too.

The third pic relates to the pin-up I posted the other day - tried a few different heads with different expressions and hair to see which worked best (went with the first one in the end - isn't that always the way?)
