Cover art
🕑 Added 2025-01-31 21:37:22 +0000 UTCBeen working on cover concepts for the Bad Space book. None of these have made the cut, but it's real fun exploring the possibilities.
Meanwhile, the comic files are now with the publisher, so we are moving pretty fast.

Fantastic! My absolute pleasure.
Rob Bravo
I got your postcard. Ty very much π
Scott Base
I was worried that one was a bit over the top! But youβre right: thatβs kinda the vibe you need to catch peopleβs attention
Scott Base
Yeah that close up vibe feels worth more investigation.
Crystle Swinford
The seventh panel feels isolated in a way that "space in the horror genre" is best communicated.
Mike Spalding
I like the skeleton astronaut reaching forward. It will catch attention in a bookstore.
Scott Base
Huh, i hadnt thought of that! I might have a play and see how that looks today
Scott Base
I spent all yesterday reworking that one and i think maybe weβre close to something now π
Rafael Beckel
Using the monkey in the cover (same picture as your avatar) would make it instantly recognizable from a distance in a bookstore.
Shawn Paul
Realize it's already been said, but I love number 3.
Yelahneb Unicornucopiax
That's the sort of thing I'm accustomed to here tbh
Scott Base
Neeeevaaaaar! What is this, Mercy Space?
Yelahneb Unicornucopiax
My hubris, exposed and expired. Mercy, I beg of you π€£
Scott Base
Shouldn't you be asking, why is there an astronaut there at all?
Scott Base
Not the moon, obviously. On an asteroid making a close approach. Stop trying to catch me out! π€£
Yelahneb Unicornucopiax
Possibly a silly/irrelevant question: if that's Theia, where is the astronaut standing?
Scott Base
Aww thanks Ella! I know the skull-in-spacesuit concept has been done by a few artists in the past, but I really want to do my own version - so I'm going to keep trying to get it perfect β€οΈ
ella limb
Oooh really like the last one, your art is so beautiful π
Scott Base
I feel like that's close, right? I've started again from scratch and it's too early to say but I'm feeling more hopeful for this new version.
Amit Ungar
πππ By the way, the one with the planet collision - THAT'S a visual! It would make for a powerful cover.
Scott Base
Hahaha! Yesss, that is my plan: souls taste so good! π€£
Scott Base
Always looking for feedback from my patreons tbh. Not so much on the free-for-all of Instagram, but here I kinda trust that you get my work in a deeper way.
Scott Base
Yes! I feel like it's the right vibe, just the parts aren't quite there yet. I've started on a new version completely from scratch and I'm already feeling better about it.
Amit Ungar
All of those *didn't* make the cut?? Makes me very intrigued to see what DID! π You got some really good ones here, Scott! ππ»ππ» And dang - already moving along with the publisher?? That's terrific! π Soon the Bad Space shall expand and take hold of many a household, and even manyer a soul! πΎ
Scott Base
Fantastic - I'm working on a new version with that today!
Caleb Jones
If you're looking for feedback - I agree that you're onto something with #3.
Ian Pillay
Love the second Theia one, it speaks to grandeur and scale of your stories!
