This is the Pencils and Layout of the cover for Issue #2. As you can see I switched the two versions of Myles on either side. I did this, so that Myles in his gentlemanly attire would have the more prominent portion of his apparatus. I did the layout while I was out and about and mistakenly thought it was on the other side.
Here is the actual masthead, which means title, of the comic. I used the Empyrean logo as a base and worked from there. I hope to make a font shortly based on the text within the gears.
What we have here today is the logo design for Empyrean Industries. This is Myles Ballantyne & Dr. Cavendish’s company. They are based out of Scotland, with both Myles and Cavendish living and Edinburgh and their factories in Glasgow. Thus is used a lot of Scottish crest iconography for it. I also used a compass rose image as well because Empyrean Industries specializes in vehicles and transportation. I am still uncertain if I will be using elements of his image as the official Masthead logo for the comic itself.
