Five out of Ten: Control
Control is the 15th issue of Five out of Ten. I wanted a cover had acknowledged some of the quirkier controller ideas (especially Sega!), and it was a lot of fun to pack it with detail. Definitely one of my favourite pieces of cover art for Five out of Ten!
Prototyping
I used Adobe Illustrator Line to prototype the design. It didn't evolve much from the mockups, but the iPhone changed to a Dreamcast Visual Memory Unit, which was a far better fit – and much more interesting to draw.
Earlier version of the Swiss Army Knife / Wii Remote. I felt this was a bit too subtle – just looked like a red Wii controller! – so I rounded off the corners, made the buttons more metallic, added a toothpick and a little Victorinox shield.
