So...is she jumping or what?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~crazypenguin09

I'm early! Oh my...what happened there? I think what happened is I was freaking out about being late for the oncoming onslaught of birthdays so I did the opposite thing of be lazy. You know...that....thing. Whatever it is.

Anyways...this is a reworking of Impulse #9 which you can read about it and see the original cover (done by Humberto Ramos) here: [link]

I toyed with the idea of trying to recreate Ramos' style but I couldn't get it to work. As much as I love his style I just couldn't get my head around it. I think it's one of those styles that, if it's not yours, it's impossible to understand. So I ditched the style (for the most part) and just added more of what I would normally do.

On this one I thought that I should start adding in more Earth G touches. The last cover was pretty much just a straight recreation. I think the covers should have a bit more of an Earth G flourish. So that's why I ditched all the motorcyclists and added Nightbird...for no real reason. I have some better ideas for what to do for the future covers.

So yeah...did a bit more on this one. Added some shadows and a bit more colour. Thought I should do that opposite of lazy thing again.

I know it's weird to do an Impulse cover for Momentum's birthday but it was the best XS cover I could find. And you know...it's all speedsters...so...you know...yeah...
