For Gum Girl: The Tentacles of Destruction. On this one I wanted to have all the main villains and an exciting GG pose.

Gum Girl: The Tentacles of Doom!

When designing a cover for Gum Girl, we don't use one idea and then draw and colour it. We come up with a few different ideas and then choose the best one. This is an used cover rough using the idea of Octopus Prime as a prison for Gum Girl.

The first story in Gum Girl: The Tentacles of Doom is called "Dirt & Loathing" and features a new baddie called Dust Bunny. The idea came from seeing the floor of my daughter's room. I don't know if you're the same and sometimes "forget" to put things away?
