Always love how you show your concepts and how different each one is from the other. Great insight to see your artistic process!

I have to admit, I think C would've been amazing! (Love the design they ended up approving, though.)

#2 was a great choice. Though I loved the way you gave the Union Jack background that carnage-y effect in the striping!

C would be cool to see finished, but not in a mad dash to be done on a deadline. All in all, most impressive work, Jen!

This is rad! Doesn't look at all like something you had to cobble together last minute.

Love seeing the concepts. B was a great one to go with since it just feels a bit more dynamic than the others. All are great though.

It's definitely different from your usual comic covers, lovely & interesting to see the other concepts as always because you always come up with such creative ideas

The teeth along the edges of the shield is a very nice added touch to the final piece. It would be so wild if the character was featured in a book utilising that concept!

This is awesome, Jen! Prior to these three concepts do you tend to sketch out some super rough ideas before diving into finalized concepts?

I preordered it back when the catalog just read "CAPTAIN CARTER #1 BARTEL VARIANT" and was pleasantly surprised to see something so different from your usual style! I work at a comic shop too and I've sold all of our extra copies of your variant to people just by pointing it out! It pretty much sells itself!
