Coming up with the cover to SW Obsession #5 (click HERE) was pretty tricky for me. (possibe SPOILER WARNING to anyone who hasn't read Obsession yet) We knew we wanted to have Ventress on it but we wanted it to be done in a way that we weren't revealing whether or not she was actually alive. It had to be ambiguous and somewhat dreamlike. So I came up with this image of her coming out of the darkness and being lit only by her lightsaber and any ambient light bouncing off the smoke. Anyway, here's the initial (very) rough layout I did for it. You can see a ton of problems all over this piece. The expression, the size of the head in relation to the body, the gigantic hand, etc. Yuckkk, it's hard for me to even show this piece.
