[Scarecrow]

Just thought I'd share.

My second ever cover:

<a href="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/scarecrow/galleries/pro/toxicmemescover.jpg"><img src="http://www.sjgames.com/images/20/2099/cover_sm.jpg"></a>

It's for 'Toxic Memes', a supplement for Steve Jackson Games' Gurps: Transhuman Space rpg.

Hi Scarecrow,

I like this image - it is certainly eye-catching. Although it may have been contrary to the brief, and made the image even more busy, I'd have liked to have seen more people in the setting, and for the setting to look more 'lived in'. Also some of the script coming from behind the figure. I have no idea how you did it, but the floating digital adds which I'm assuming surround the girl don't get over-lapped by her. If you see what I mean.

I hadn't noticed that actually! It's just luck of the draw, really. The ads were rendered on to a sphere and the sphere just happened to be positioned so that none of the ads were half behind her. Had I noticed I would certainly have done that just to emphasize the fact that they are surrounding her.
As for the background, well I'd have loved to have included futuristic cars and people but the short ammount of time I was given was spent really on modelling the woman (much of which was replaced at literally the last minute with photos of my wife as the results were unsatisfactory). I wanted the background to be darker as it was largely unimportant, but the art director was concerned it wouldn't print properly.
