## Bloodruth – Variant Cover Process | Rippaverse Comics
This project showcases the complete creation process behind my **Bloodruth** variant cover for **Rippaverse Comics**, from the initial composition sketches to the final inked artwork.
The goal was to create a dynamic, storytelling-driven cover that immediately communicates the character's strength and personality while maintaining a clean, readable composition suitable for comic book shelves and crowdfunding campaigns.
Included in this project:
• Composition thumbnails
• Layout development
• Perspective refinement
• Character construction
• Final pencils
• Finished inks
Working on covers for Rippaverse has been an incredible opportunity to collaborate on one of today's fastest-growing independent comic publishers. Every cover is designed not only as an illustration, but as a marketing piece capable of capturing readers' attention within seconds.
I always approach cover design with the mindset that a cover should tell a story before the reader even opens the book.

A great cover doesn't simply illustrate a character—it creates enough curiosity to make someone pick up the book.
