Things are winding down as far as Midnight Sun goes. The folks at SLG are looking over some low res comps of the book, and a friend has graciously volunteered to proof read the thing (thus saving me from my own terrible spelling), but beyond that, the book is pretty much done–so much so, in fact, that I cleaned my studio top to bottom. Feather duster, Swiffer, the whole bit. This is just a weird compulsive thing that I always do whenever I finish a comics project. Fortunately today, things wrapped up in the early afternoon; I’m strangely compelled to do this ritual, though, regardless of time and have in the past cleaned my studio at two or three in the morning.
The last item to pull together was the cover. Here’s what I’ve got:
The final design is a mishmash of Scott Saavedra’s design and the original design I did for issue one of the original comic book series. I’m still not really 100% happy with the circle bit on the back and the way it works with the two quotes below, but I’m not really sure what else to do at this point. If I’m struck by inspiration between now and when I have to upload the real press-ready files to SLG, I may tweak that back cover a bit.
