Rendered Mantis
Experimenting with trying to lay in some blacks and do more rendering. Here is a Mantis I may make into a full team poster at some point:

First... a small criticism... I guess my choice of adjective fits, but... Mantis is a little... little. Last few drawings you have done of him have had much more muscular arms.
Beyond that.... good job adding background... and cover structure... and... most important... I look GOOD.
(one little thing in my mind. I guess knockback could have bounced his head off the rock, but... I would not think that a mystical attack can make it's target bleed.) -

C. Cicconi said…I understand your comment on Mantis. I just can't get a good read on him. I think I prefer him skinnier and more wiry than the bulky ones I drew the last few times. I'm going back to that.
As for the blood -- that's artistic license. It makes for a more emotional image if Bane is crying as she flies away from her colleagues who are literally BLEEDING on the ground rather than how it actually occurred, with the team in no REAL jeopardy (since you and Mantis were instantaneously regenerating and GL was only knocked out, not near death). But for purposes of the cover, I wanted as much emotion as possible, hence the tears and blood. You know the covers have always been only loosely based on the games they depict. hehe.
