We're on to the final week of the Kickstarter, and it's time to show you all the covers. I hope you like them! A small commentary follows after each picture. 🎙️
The third chapter's cover features Carol looking lost while walking around Shiba Town. Even though you see some clouds in the sky, don't let yourself be fooled: the neighbourhood is underground and features a holographic sky. Also, those plants? Probably not real. They have water, but how could they possibly grow this much greenery? 🌱
This is still a sketch, which I’m currently developing. For the cover of the fourth chapter, I decided to explore a duality with the previous chapter. So if you place both books together, Carol and Art will be walking towards each other. But she's underground in Shiba Town, and he's on the surface, in Rother High. Looking forward to finishing this one!
It also features… a HAIRCUT? I'm not saying much about that. You'll have to wait and see. :D
And here's the variant for chapter three! Carol looks very angry behind one of Art's earrings. What could possibly have happened?
You'll see. 👀
This is the other variant, and it shows a half-ruined Rother High behind an obviously falling Art and his fancy new haircut. In case you've wondered what those are, the pillars holding Shiba Town's roof are visible in the background.
The building in the middle was inspired by an empty gas holder in Rotherhithe, which they have been meaning to convert into flats for years. I'm drawing this assuming they'll finally have done it in 2091!
