Voting: Comic Book Covers - Page 3

Name: Enelya

Reason: As far as real comic covers go i feel her's is the closest. Lara croft is very well drawn and the pose with the round comming out looks great, could use more eye contact or expression but comes very close. The colors is what impressed me the most, looks very comic like and the extra lighting or shadowing color looks beautiful when used through the piece. More props for adding the logos and the background that feels very close to the original tomb raider comics and game.

3: Amlai

Reason: Crazy, fantastic yet still 100% Tomb Raider Lara involved in great adventures. The flamboyant dynamic style, the transparent drawing, the brightness, the colours promise very vast grand adventures and express Lara the best of all IMO. I'm not into TR comics at all, but this one would certainly tempt me to consume the book!

Tough choice between Amlai's and 7: Elysia, which is a very high quality exciting and promising image as well, dark, precise, crazy and fantastic.

NAME: Amlai

REASON: Ok, tehnicly/and style, Tansy's, Enelya's and Elysia's works are indeed high quality/well done and eye atractive also which is the same with amlai's work - more or less, BUT as for comic cover amlai's one is just right powerful IMO, excellent scene for a cover

(why not to send at least 3 best works for topcow?)

Name: Tansy

Reason: mainly, the action scene, witch was very difficult to choose between other participants, it made me wonder who she is shooting to, it created this kind of atmosphere, I guess it was the most intriguer one and that's was that keep my attention. Also the techniques, the implementation of colors was very nice, i think it's a good job

Btw...thanks Elenya!

Mmmh, it's clear to me, it's ENELYA's work the best.

Looks like she's got some knowledge ! ^^

It's far from Michael Turner's work, but close at the same time!

The other works are great, but we talk about a COMIC BOOK here, and the others (to me) aren't in the same world.

Enelya's cover LOOKS LIKE a cover, a REAL one, and doesn't look like a fan art or a videogame artwork.

It's true it's quite dark, but the goal of a cover is to deliver some mystery, after all !

That's what I like in her work !

Name: Tansy

Reason: It's so difficult to choose between such amazing works of art, especially those that look so professional, but this cover is just outstanding!

I love the costume, the pose, the title and border art, and how the image displays so well a scene of stealth and danger that it makes you want to pick it up and start reading. I think we may need a feature length comic to follow it up!

This one just blew me away. The mutant is outstanding, and Lara's pose incredible.
