here's the basics of how I got to the cover of Street Fighter II Turbo #4.
I started off with the basic layout. 3 options were done up. I was told to go with option B with a flipping of head direction of Gouken and Akuma. Showed them the pencils and they felt it didn't have enuogh 'unch', which I agreed to. So then it shows the pencils after the edit. that's all.
