What fun it was to create this one. A retro-looking collage visually demonstrating the legal battle between Coin Artist and $coin. Take your time and watch it a few times to notice all details. Coin Artist herself grabbed a couple of issues. We also did hide items from all previous issues covers. Can you find them all? The reveal list is at the end of the cover story.
The Coin Artist is depicted in the beginning as an innocent baby doll while an evil sausage creature jumps in waving (actual) legal papers. What a surprise when she transforms into a killing machine with huge Twitter community support.
The final secret weapon coming into the battle to support justice is our beloved Andreas M. Antonopoulos who gives the lethal laser strike to the evil. My favorite little detail is issue number 15 made from 1 and five fingers underlining the surreal feel.
The main workload here is probably the complex animations that are making this piece so fun. Sure, first there was a need to put together the overall composition, but transforming Coin Artist into the mech was a bit tricky. In the end, the loop came up pretty well.
