The making of a POWERS COVER

[Oeming]

Just a little insight into my other works, hope you dont mind...
Heres a cover from concept to finish. Brian emailed me with an idea to do a STICKER cover. He sent me an example of some girlie thing (he was probably playing with them while watching Gilmore Girls:)

I first went at it and made it part of a scene, used my sons homework as the background. Notice the goofy print:

But Brian really just wanted the sticker, no background or scene so I did this one, added a bit of art clipped from interrior pages and another cover:

Then our extremely under rated colorist Peter Pantazis colored it up, did a proper logo and tossed in some more art. Notice all the production Pete does:

There you go. A little insight into a Powers cover!

Wow, excellent work sir! I actually just picked up a few packs of Dora stickers for my neices just yesterday, same idea. Looks very authentic. Great work by Peter also.

Any plans on developing any covers for OF in the future? 8)

Thanks! I might try and do an Omega Flight Annual or find a short for myself or something.

Hi Mike, I guess you don't want to turn this into a Q&A, but seeing those images has got me curious. Your style is pretty unique. Is that something you deliberately set out to do? Secondly, back in Powers #7 (?) you had Warren Ellis guest star, any plans for other luminaries to put in an appearence. BMB springs to mind for some reason :-)

Excellent work Mike. I like it alot. I've never actually read Powers before, but I'll definetly give it a shot.
