Finally got to coloring the Isis: The Main Event Cover
Concept. With the colors it really POPS. I want this cover to have BIG action with an imperiled Isis held over the edge of the cage by the Umbuttra, Hell’s Beast from the
Bowels, with Nemesis the Greek goddess of Retribution trying to come to the
rescue with a steel chair. I can't wait to see what Bill Walko does with this one!
I drew inspiration for this one from the 1998 Hell in a Cell
where Mankind fought The Undertaker. With this being a battle between goddesses
and one of Hell’s most powerful demons, I wanted to present a battle that was
EPIC on the level of that match. Anyone who has seen the Taker/Mankind Match knows it set the gold standard for Hell in a Cell Matches and I wanted the fight between Isis, Nemesis and Umbuttra to be as big a spectacle as that one.
When I was writing this story a lot of parallels between wrestlers, gods
and superheroes. and I wanted to design a cover concept that showed how all three of those worlds were similar.
Also did Umbuttra’s model sheet. Wanted to give her
dreadlocks to contrast her ram horns. And with her being in the Ninth Level of Hell, she ain’t
gonna find a hairdresser.
I got inspired by TNA and WWE superstar Awesome Kong’s ring
attire but I wanted to put a Jack Kirby spin on it. Really wanted her outfit to
look like something Kong would wear while capturing the spirit of Jack
Kirby's New Gods and Eternals designs.
Isis: The Main Event will be available in 2020. Still in the middle of edits and trying to get the cover done!
