As an emulation for the copy of a Batman comic book cover I decided that I would use the same eerie style of the bones and bubbly colour in a medieval theme that was a good fit to my genre of comic book I wish to end up producing.
I started with the pencil line drawing out the head of a Knight with huge dragon horns bursting out of the helmet.
I then traced the lines with ink using a light box and a brush to get dark black lines
The next stage was to threshold the image in Photoshop so that the whites and blacks could be separated and the whites deleted.
Once all white areas had been removed it was time to add colour to the image. I used the same custom brush I used in my copy for shading and texturing areas in the colouring stage.
The background was created using many of the same techniques as I used in the copy, using a custom brush to add texture and shading.
It was now time to start adding the text to the image including the price, bar-code, DC comics logo and issue number.
The title was created using digital drawing software to draw the black lines and then use of a custom brush and gradient tool in Photoshop.
Once everything was added to the image my second emulation was completed.
Here is my final second emulation.
