Kade Cover sketch#1 *updated*

11" x 17" Colored Pencil on Paper

Hey guys, after I completed the Koni Waves cover, the writer and publisher asked me to do another cover for one of their other comics, Kade. Obviously I said yes, and after my thumbs, roughs and a photo shoot as of recently, I just recently finished the first sketch. More soon to come over the next couple days, but I'm pretty happy with this one so far.

Sidenotes: I know the values will be pushed farther, I've yet to do a value sketch which would ultimately push the top and bottom a lot darker along with more constrasted tones in the figures. So I have no worries that they will really pop from the surface. (I'm especially excited about the rim lighting to help with that).
