While researching for a post, I came across an interesting concept to reality video. Back in 2007 WIRED had commissioned Yochiro Ono to create the cover design for their November issue. The concept was “Manga Conquers America”. Although it isn’t explicitly said, the evolutionary process highlights the importance placed on the cover design; the first impression. Similar to Bayonetta’s enemy creation, understanding all the elements of the design gives you a greater appreciation for the final product.

Whoa, all those sketches for 1 final image?
I wonder how the mangaka charges. . .
the process is not a glamorous one… amateur as i am, i often go through at least a dozen concept sketches before arriving at a character design.. -__-
awesome results on the cover =)
Well, for all that he must have charged, he had to make something very overachieving, not some half-assed doodle.
wow I love the process, now I know that I have to do so many sketches to create something incredible :O
