Straw Man zero cover

The cover to the upcoming Straw Man #Zero. My original intention was to copy the cover of the first issue of Straw Man but draw it better. Seeing how I did it 10 years ago I thought the juxtaposition would be interesting enough. Then I decided to add the background characters to show the different story elements that would come up in the story. I had colored the cover with a blue and tried to do something subtle with a mixture of cool hues. I wasn't too satisfied with the initial results. I came back to it a few months later and tried recoloring it still with the blue hue color scheme. It still wasn't looking right and at the last minute I decided to see what the background color would look like in red. WOW. Made a huge difference. So I'm pretty sure this is the version I'm sticking with.
