And we get to my third Cover Concept for C.O.G.! This one features the Aeolus Airship and introduces the dashing Plunkett and the spunky Pyott. Plunkett’s the dark haired guy swinging along with Rosejack, and Pyott is the fellow in the jetpack and wings.

This is the pencils and layout of Issue #3’s cover. Generally, after I have a layout I’m happy with, I scan it into the computer and then blow it up to actual drawing sise, which in this case was 11″ X 17″. Then I would very loosely and lightly trace my initial layout on the page as a very rough, and I do mean rough, underdrawing for my pencils.
This is Eddie’s blade which doubles as brass knuckles of sorted. It was specifically designed to cause maximim damage. It’s not a nice weapon. Eddie rarely uses it, but when he does he means business. It works on a similar principle as a switchblade.
Today I’m happy to show you Rosejack’s Whip-sword! This weapon is one of Myles’s more ingenius weapons. Both the whip and sword retract into the hilt for easy storage. Done in Rosejack’s signature red, it’s gold plated for finesse. It also sports my love of tassels. The whip is the primary, and Rosejack’s preferred, function of the weapon. Not seen here is that the weapon gan electrify causing more damage. However, once the whip function is no longer desired, the whip portion pops off and the sword extends out. The sword too, can electrify, if there is enough energy left after the whip.
