This isn't the typical action scene pulp cover, but I fell in love with the sporting pulp covers and I decided to go more along the lines of that. I wanted to make a more vintage style cover, so I used mostly pastel colors along with the red to help blend the colors of his jersey with the background. I took the picture of the baseball player at bat during one of our schools baseball games this season the cropped him out of the picture and added him to my background.

"The experimental test of whether the art is good or great, or mirror or abysmal, is the effect it has on your own sense of the world and of yourself. Great art changes you."

This quote is basically saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one person see's as great art, another might see as trash.
