I had to revise a cover. Long story.
The first cover was fine. It was action packed. It’s a regular Marvel fighting cover. But it wasn’t quite what the writer was looking for. And looking at it again. He was right. It was missing the “it” factor.
For the revised cover, I wanted pathos. I wanted emotions. I wanted to be iconic. So after doodling all day and night. I think I came with an image I like.
It’s Captain America, with his shield broken, sits defeated in battle as his enemies overrun the grounds.
Hopefully the editors will approve.
Here’s a partial image of the cover in progress.
