Book Cover Update #2

This is what happens when a character gets left out...
Characters from left to right: Billy, Gabe, Freddy, Eva, Sandra, Simon, Tabby, Thomas....and Doc will be somewhere once I figure out where he's going. Right now he's chilling at the top like some mad scientist about to make pudding out of monkey brains...
I like this version better because the first one had the characters standing around like they were posing for mug shots or something. Very boring. Thanks to Gabe staring at Simon's leg like he wants to hump it, the symmetrical feel has been thrown off. Now interest in the piece seems to hold better, especially since Billy back there has a joint. Sorry Freddy, no smokey for you today (note the turned head like he's totally disgusted - not intentional - but that's what happens when an artist decides to move people around).

Book Cover Progress #1
Painted from Scratch using Photoshop CS3
Characters © 2010 JJ McMoon
Four more characters need to be jammed onto the front, then will start sketching out the back cover. I need to know how much room to give the spine. That will help determine how much room I'll need for the front. Don't they look like comic book characters at the moment? X-Men wannabees! Da da dum!
