#1 Kabuki #6 - The Image series.
I guess my avatar gives this one away, huh? I never get tired of looking at this cover. Great design, it says a lot about her mindstate at the time. And David nailed the background colors perfectly. And not to be crude, but so feminine and SEXY!
#2 The Ghost Play
So haunting...so beautiful. Another great design and color scheme. I love the textures on the dress and the look she is giving the veiwer is so mysterious.
#3 The Alchemy #5
I love this cover because of the roll like dice line. This phrase was stuck in my mouth for about 2 months. Everywhere I went I would just say it randomly. Here's one more for the road - "ROLL LIKE DICE!"

Good choices. After I did the Ghost Play cover, it was probably my fave for a good long while.
In generaly my favorite is always THE NEXT ONE! The cover that I'm thinking about and have not done yet
Barring that it is usually THE LAST ONE. The most recent cover I have done.
So these days, my favorite Kabuki covers are some of the most recent of The Alchemy. These would change constantly, but at the moment, my fave Kabuki covers may be:
#1- Maybe being Alchemy #6 right now. I like the house as dress, etc.
The Empiricist's New Clothes.
I like it because it is completely different from any cover I have ever done before, or that I have ever seen. And it is very metaphorical with the story.
#2- Good call on mentioning Alchemy #5 cover. I like this one too as it shows the 2D- to 3D ideas in the story. ANd like #6 and #4 and all the other succeeding issues of The Alchemy it plays off not just the cover, but the cover starts the composition ideas that coninue to the first page and throughout the rest of each individual issue with its own composition idea, that works as a cover and as panels int he story.
#3. Maybe Alchemy #7 for the same reasons.
I like that this cover is different from any previous Kabuki cover and is a bit of a metaphorical understatement for what happens in the issue.
All of these could change tommorrow
