Double Cross Arc Cover - Full Color Reveal!
Added 2021-09-23 15:01:01 +0000 UTCHowdy y'all!
Last week I teased this by showing you the penciled version, but the fully colored version is now ready for you to see and I've even created some new pin-up rewards for you!
Adam DeKraker's awesome pencils have now been colored by one of my favorite colorists, Alex Sollazzo, who has colored all of The Young Protectors covers, and I think he did a stunning job with this one. I love his luscious painterly style and I think it really suits the "film noir poster" vibe I was going for. Adam's linework was already impressive but Alex's colors just bring everything to life!
I then added some "credits" on the bottom with an art deco font, and our Double Cross "movie poster" cover is now complete!
What do you think? Does it do our story justice? Will it encourage new readers to click onto the next page?
Let me know in the comments below!
Also, I've used the art to create some special wallpapers for y'all, sized specifically for your desktop computer and phone.
Here is the desktop version:

And here the the version for your mobile device:

Hopefully they will find a good home on your computer-y stuff.
And, as always, there are high-res versions of this art for $10+ backers available via itch.io -- so if you'd like to see a version of these two pin-ups with over twice the resolution, you'll be able to do that here.
Anyway, I hope you really like the art and the wallpapers I made for you. Please let me know in the comments below!
And thank you so much for your continued support. It's only because of you that I'm able to create special pieces of art like this that really enhance the reading experience and help make sure our stories with gay heroes are just as good as, if not better than, what mainstream publishers are putting out there for the straight boys.
Because you deserve the best.
More soon! :)

2021-09-25 00:50:57 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Steve! I'm really glad you feel we pulled it off! And I hope you're able to redo those rooms soon. I bet if you just explain to your (12!) kitties how important that style is to you, they'll make sure to be on their best behavior in that part of your house. I mean, that's how cats work, right? :D
