Planet Scumm Issue #5 | Cover Illustration and Publication Design
For Issue 5 of Planet Scumm, we did a complete revamp of our cover design convention, opting to emulate the feel of 1950s pulp. I drew a prohibition-gone-Lovecraft themed cover, based on the featured story “Ain’t We Got Fun” by Paul C.K. Spears. Inspired by the seven deadly sins, all of these characters are original designs. Painted in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
