Art Appreciation-- Rasl #7

Over at Boneville, Jeff Smith just posted the cover to Rasl #7's cover.  Smith's Rasl covers have always been eye-catching.  He's managed for the 5 issues so far to produce just the perfect image to characterize each issue.  My favorite so far has been #3, with the alluring glance of one of Rasl's many love interests.   After the somewhat disappointing Shazam mini that Smith did, Rasl has been an excellent followup to his Bone.  Like Bone, Rasl shows off Smith's fantastic storytelling without having to retread the same ground that Smith already covered.

Rasl #7's cover stand out from the other issues by the subtle use of color that Steve Hamaker applies.  Each cover has had one color added to shade and tone the image but Hamaker here offers up many shades and creates a lighting effect that hasn't been seen in the previous Rasl covers.
