My thoughts this comic cover page design!
The idea for this cover was to show off the two main characters' dynamic with a dance-like, fight-like pose. I also wanted a wrap around cover so that there could be leeway in book thickness.
I did a few sketches with the concept:
I felt the final pose I came up with had the best balance with the text and a necessary "edgier" rather than "floatier" energy. The diagonal shape the characters make has movement while also fitting in the triangular title in the top left quite nicely. I'm also a fan how I managed to put in a bit of uncomfortable bloodiness and how Kou's hand is on the book's spine.
In the background I used the clouds that make an ambiguous night and day to create negative space for the title and back blurb. The buildings are there to show off the story's attention to setting, and also to provide some high-detail elements to balance out the lower-detail empty space the text sits in.
Anyway, this book is available to order now!
It's a human-eating ghoul x ghoul hunter story. It's gorey and it's gay. Chomp chomp!
