HOW TO: Shorn's making of "The Great Escape" cover.

First off, let me congratulate cavemanlawyer and paperpills on their covers and everyone else who entered.
I was amazed at how many good covers turnt out for teh contest, and in all honesty expected alot more entries.

This contest gave me a good enough reason to do a cover that Ive wanted to do for ages, so I set about it and I was really please with teh results.

As promised here is a "making of" preview as it was quite a task getting it to look the way I wanted.

Hope you enjoy it!

















Hope you have enjoyed seeing how this was put together! It may not be too obvious from looking at the cover but there was alot of work involved in shadows, textures, and gradients, to give the overall "polished" look to the final product. I basically wanted it to look as though it could have been a single picture and not obvious that it was pieced together.

Well im happy, and coming runner up in the contest is a nice reward for a cover I was going to do anyway!

See you around with some new stuff soon, perhaps I might even get round to making some progress with my Johnny Depp collection!

Thanks!
