My mortal enemies comic cover from "The Hook: Anatomy of a Comic Book Cover" taken at SAIC in Spring 2025. This cover is for the manga "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask." This course was taught by Dijana Granov.

This piece was turned in completed, but needs to be revised based off of the feedback recieved during critique before I add it to my portfolio or sell it as a print.

Critique notes:

• My note: Add shield design
• Captured how scary Skull Kid is
• Looks good from far away and up close
• Dijana said this is true and very good! Looks good from far away, from medium distance, and up close
• Lighting is very strong
• Especially on the mask and on Link
• Like how I did rimlighting on the monsters
• Link can move a little to the right
• Like the intensity
• Eyes in the BG that aren't in the spotlight can be dimmed
• Rendering is really nice
• Sword angle being shifted to not be tangent with the shield
• Favorite part of the piece is the lighting from the mask
• Should show on Skull Kid's feet and legs more
• Dijana's notes:
• Forground monsters can be darker then fade to the background more as they go back
• The eye cones should be more separate
• The monsters can be different shades of purple getting lighter towards the back
• Warm towards the light, add pinks and oranges?
• Forground monsters can be black
• The monsters look so good and add so much we deserve to see them
