Process

Concept: In a world on the brink of collapse from an alien invasion humanity is on the line. As countries’ defenses fall and hope dwindles, the world government unveils its last line of defense: a highly advanced cyborg designed to combat the extraterrestrial besiege. This cyborg, a fusion of cutting-edge technology and human ingenuity, and human intuition represents the final hope for survival.

Initial Sketch: The book title is still under consideration, but the main character's rough design and positioning have been outlined in the sketch. This sketch is a crucial step as it is easily adjustable and gives a general direction for further artistic detail and creative decisions.

Vector Draft: This phase involves the strategic placement of initial color schemes to serve as a guide for fine polishes in the future. A preliminary draft of the title is crafted to ensure optimal placement and readability. The selection of the background color is crucial as it establishes the overall ambiance and thematic tone.
