Share your 'Old vs New Cover' from your Comic/Novel

sunnysora 2025-01-20 15:59:04 UTC #1

Hi everyone!! I was planning on making a new cover art for my comic and just wanted to compare my very first cover to my current one to see how I could improve more!!

This here is the side to side comparison! The old one is definetly too dull and the anatomy looks a bit weird! Something I know from my own work is that I have absolutley no sense of lighting/shadows! I'm open to your advice on how to improve that maybe!

I would love to see your covers too! Share your covers so we can all appreciate them, old or new or both!!

Both look amazing! The new one looks much more mysterious!!

sunnysora 2025-01-20 20:41:57 UTC #9

I'm bad at drawing covers vs my panels

This is my first design from 2021

Then I realized Casey is not the only main character

I went from a generic space science fiction graphic for the first cover to an idea that tries to convey more of what the story is about for the second cover. I realized, I only have one second to grab a viewer's attention, and a provocative title just won't do it. Also, showing characters, showing faces gives much more of an opportunity for a viewer to identify with some portion of the image (and maybe click!).

From my latest story, here's my old cover. The story was for a contest so the cover was a little rushed.

And here's the new one I took more time with.

My old cover. My novel had a different name back then.

My new cover.

Each chapter gets a new cover, here's the evolution of them

I drew it back in 2011. But digitalized it in 2018. Yes I did the cathedral top myself too. I looked at old black and white photographs I took back in highschool in the 90s.

The new 2025 cover. Got better at utilizing the assets and software in Clip Studio Paint.
