Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Chapter 9 cover

Cover image!  In color!

Well, you all voted that we should have cover images before each chapter.  Michael convinced me to try doing it in color.  Those are his inked lines — all the black parts — and then I put the colors in.  So if anything looks weird, it’s my fault.  Working in color is stressful for me with my colorblindness, but doing these once per chapter should be fun.

Next Monday we’re starting up with the main story again, so stay tuned!

    Color me impressed. (Sorry for the pun) I rather like the mix of colors in the explosion in the background; it catches the eyes in more ways than one. I’m looking forward to your next cover image.

  2. Ryan says:

    Love the image and the coloring looks just fine. The only thing that would make it cooler is velcro shoes (come on! This is the 21st century! We don’t need laces anymore).

    I can say it was weird to see color in the comic after so many greytone ones.

    …now you said you don’t have that in mind, but this picture once more says “80’s film” to me. Thumbs up.

  4. NH says:

    Not bad at all, just don’t overextend yourself on colors – a good story works well regardless of if it’s color or monochrome.

    Colouring looks fine, nice cover.

  6. I think the colors turned out fantastic! Nice work Remus.

  7. Bobbageddon says:

    why does this remind me of Terminator 2? lol

  8. Colors look fine, but the expression on Jacob’s face is scary. Since when did he smile? Somebody must have deserved that.

  9. Moxie Man says:

    What everyone else said: Colors look fine.

  10. Overand says:

    Well, I hate to say it, but “Cool guys don’t look at explosions.” (Apparently it’s a song).
