Vol 3 Cover Gallery of Failure

Description

I knew what I wanted volume 3's cover to look like, but I had a REALLY hard time drawing it.

The first one is more detailed because I was actually trying to make a final drawing. I failed spectacularly with that one, largely because characters looking up and characters looking at the camera are the two poses I have the hardest time with. So I was trying to avoid doing it. Pro-tip, if something's hard for you to draw, don't try to avoid it, that just makes you a big dumb stupid head. :nod:
The second and third were rougher because I recognized that I probably wasn't going to get it in the next shot what with it being a pose I have a hard time with and all and I didn't want to waste time drawing the details when the basic setup was probably wrong. Though the third one did end up inspiring the final product.

Fun story, I have one of those wooden posing art dolls and I tried to use it for this...but the dang thing's legs are glued in place. Seriously, instead of having a pivoting joint like the arms do, it was just glued on so the legs only moved forward and back. :\ Very difficult to get accurate poses that way. So I grabbed an action figure instead. Turned out it was WAY more posable, and helped me out a lot! I knew I kept those things around for a reason! :D

So why am I posting my failures?
Seriously? Look at these things, they're hilarious! :rofl:

Actual cover is here.
