Marco Polo

Cover info

This is another of my old-style covers that I'm re-done. I started by scanning in an old map of the world, selecting to use the section containing Asia as a background. Next I scanned in an image of Marco Polo, cleaning up some dirt on the image, fading it over the map. Next I scanned in an image of the Doctor, this required a lot of work, cleaning the worst of the dirt and grain off the entire image, but the face is still not as good as I'd like. I then scanned in an image of Kublai Khan, this image needed less work than the others, just the removal of background, and some rebuilding of a sleeve pattern, I blended the image the same way as Marco Polo. I feel this cover works really well.
