Last semester we were assigned to create a pulp magazine cover for any topic of our choice. My mind normally doesn't go to sports, but I thought it'd be interesting to add a twist to it and explore the world of roller derby. For this project I was more interested in the vintage, gritty roller derby ways.
I moved from the sketch to the finish. Like usual, I built up in layers.
Painted the background in acrylic, and did the figures in ink and colored pencils.
