98.9: The Ride- Cover

Martin's Comments:
Due to the differences in drawing, had to modify the format for the covers a bit to fit with Abe's drawings. Wound up looking less like a comic book and more like a magazine, which I actually kind of like - come chapter eight might just play that up a bit. As will be seen when its next chapter starts Blues will be doing something different from WaR and BP with its covers, so makes sense to give BP its own format as well.

Anyway, yeah, like how this one came out. Funny thing on this girl on the cover - speaking of, remember her from the end of The Hidden Flame? - is that all concept art of her before Abe did this has the eyes of the mask opaque, which is a look Adam and I really like. Tried it out with this one after Abe sent it though and didn't really look right with his art, while I like the way the eyes look. So... Yeah, you'll probably be seeing her eyes in BP but not WaR. Maybe Sareena has better vision than Alex.

Actually, come to think of it, there's something funny about that statement, but will need to delve into it later.

Funny thing about this, I forgot initially to send White Noise's design Abe's way so he wound up first drawing this with someone else. That design actually pretty well fits a character I have in mind for down the line, so probably going to have him use her for that.

Abe's Comments:
You remember that game video game Fall Out with "I don't want to set the world on fire?" Or how about Fionna Apple singing "Across the Universe" in the Pleasantville music video? Or how about Nero who fiddle calmly while his kingdom burned to the ground? Let's just say that this brings back a lot of thoughts.
