The whole Scrapnik Island trade book is out!!! Today!!! Right now!!!
Go pick it up physically and/or digitally!
I wanted to make a fun illustration to celebrate such a cool story that was a blast to color and design for. I tried to fit as many of the scrapniks that appeared in the miniseries as I could!
Daniel Barnes is a fantastic writer and friend and Jack Lawrence is a sweetheart and incredible artist. I'm extremely glad I could work with both of them on this amazing project.
Lots of love and care went into the story and art, so please pick up the book at a local bookstore/comic shop, or online order, or digitally if you prefer! If you're a fan of sonic, horror, or cool robots, this is the book for you.

Hey hey! The Scrapnik Island trade book comes out 2 days from now, on 8/29! Since I haven't posted them here yet, here's all 4 of my covers for the miniseries!
Additional thoughts about the covers themselves below:
Big thank yous to David Mariotte and Riley Farmer! They were really kind in letting me do the A covers for this miniseries, ALONG with character design and coloring work!
My goal for these covers was to make them feel like old horror movie posters. I also strategically tried to not reveal Mecha Sonic in most of them, as the covers were being announced before the story details at the time and we really wanted Mecha's return to be a big surprise! (Natalie Haines' cover absolutely knocked it out of the park for that reveal)
Color-wise, like the story itself, I wanted to gradually increase the amount of red and intensity until the breaking point of the finale in #4.
For the 4th cover, I really wanted to depict the intense emotions of the finale. The fight between Sonic and Mecha Sonic, the Death Egg's shadow looming over it all, and at the bottom, a sunflower, falling into a burning incinerator.
However, I also wanted to make it so if you flip the image, like someone miraculously flipped the entire situation upside-down, instead of falling into a burning abyss, the sunflower is meeting a beautiful new sunrise, a new day.

One thing I found neat about your scrapnik covers is that the Jack Lawrence variant for issue 4 that you colored goes in the complete opposite direction color wise from your A covers
Good eye! I colored Jack's cover a few months after I painted my 4 covers, and figuring out the color scheme stumped me for a little initially because red was such a prominent theme for me. After experimenting with several color schemes, I realized it was better to treat it as separate from issue 4's story, instead go for more of a representation of the whole miniseries, and go in the green stormy direction like how the beginning of scrapnik starts.
Ironically, that made it work pretty well for the trade cover haha.
