When you commit to posting every single day, the content is gonna stretch in substance and quality. The fact that I only eeked in a half hour of work this morning before heading to work is a testament to that. When I was looking at the progress I've been making on the central design for the cover, I really didn't like how the central part looked like the demons shared a bloated head. I stared and stared and thought of things like just intertwined horns, but they ended up looking like pincers, and crowded the space. By accident, I happily found a good look with one ear and one horn. The horns make a nice vortex framing element for the central DVD logo. The lines are rough, as I'm finding form and that sort of thing, but I'll prettify it, hopefully tonight. Another solid night of work (a few hours), and I'm confident I'll have a finished cover.
Don't get me wrong: I'll probably fiddle with more design. Shit, I just remembered that I need to add Demons vs Dragons to the cover... I'm thinking either a Celtic-like knotted circle surrounding the central design with those words in it, or a typical-ish scroll treatment slapped somewhere. I should do thumbnails. I'll share those when they happen.
