cover research for 365 samurai/DARKHORSE comics book




Voilà deux couvertures d'essai que je n'ai pas gardé pour la couv final du book 365 samouraï.
C'est souvent un exercice laborieux et intéressant à la fois de trouver le bon ton . j'aimais bien le dynamisme qui sort de ces deux illus ,mais elles ne collaient pas avec l'idée d'une couverture qui marque l'esprit !




Here is two research covers ,i didn't keep them for the final cover for 365 samurai book.
i think its a hard exercice n' also interesting too to search the right balance for get close from what we' v got in mind during the drawing process.I do like the dynamic of thoses sketches, but they dont fit with the idea of a good cover who can attract your eyes and capture your spirit.
