SWAN LAKE - Prologue Cover

Here's a second shot at this comic thing.

Only a cover for now but I hope to get drawing the pages soon. The script has been coming along but now the ideas just aren't coming to me as fast as I want them to. It'll get there though.

This time around, we'll get to see an older (12 yrs) Odette and what her life as a humble middle-class girl was like before she came to be living with Rothbart at the lake.
Some stuff I had in mind for the story might not be as faithful to the original story which worries me... I'm really torn between doing something less conventional that would be interesting to me to write but then... the simpleness and straightforwardness of the story is also something I really like and to keep it like that would be nice too. I think in the end, I'll just go with the former though. :/
Gotta take risks, right?

The idea for this cover actually came to me one night while I was trying to get to sleep. I do this thing where I leave it up to chance to see if the idea is good or not... I go to bed and if I remember the idea the next day, it's probably a good idea.
The idea or inspiration for this was actually the 'Creation of David' by Michelangelo. www.google.ca/search?q=birth+o…
I wanted it to be a simple looking piece while being a bit sinister at the same time. Originally, the 'evil wave' that's forming Rothbart was going to be a lot more gruesome with some demented birds or something... but it was too complicated to draw. :'D
Not at an artist level where I can draw an evil wave of demon birds yet. ; u ;
