# **Art Direction for Comic Book Cover: Attractor Basins**

**General Layout:**
- Two-page spread: Right side (front cover), Left side (back cover).
- Background spans both pages, uniting the two main figures.

---

**Main Figures:**

1. **Holographic Version of the Main Character (Right Side - Front Cover)**
    - **Style:** Meticulous, technical cross-section. Shiny, blue, glowing hologram grid.
    - **Outermost Layer:** Cross section of face.
    - **Subsequent Layers (2-4 layers):** Wires, circuits, pneumatic pumps, tubes, and various technological components.
    - **Biological Layers (3-4 layers):** Ambiguous muscle, amniotic fluid flow, and an interior resembling the inside of a human eyeball.
    - **Core:** A piece of chewing gum resembling a tiny brain, wrapped in a laser beam lattice forming a tesseract (an inverting geometry resembling a doughnut).

2. **Main Character (Left Side - Back Cover)**
    - **Appearance:** Mid-30s Caucasian male, long hair, scruffy short beard, glasses, T-shirts with crypto logos. Only the floating head is visible.
    - **Style:** Meticulous, technical cross-section.
    - **Outer Layers:** Skin, muscle, and skull.
    - **Brain Layers:** Casings surrounding the brain, deeper labyrinthine textures.
    - **Core:** Cybernetic mechanism creating a projection chamber resembling an eyeball. Inside, a neon-colored gravitational pull diagram representing his obsession with attractor diagrams.

**Background:**

- **Composition:** Complex tapestry of glowing light threads or illuminated wires weaving abstract images. At first glance, they're subtle, but upon closer inspection, attractor diagrams emerge.
- **Style:** Resembles both a topographical map (with mountains and altitudes) and a close-up of screen pixels. Technological in nature.
- **Color:** Bright neon colors, synthetic palette. No gray, white, or black. Colors illuminate the foreground figures.

---

**Additional Notes:**

- **Space Allocation:** Main figures should occupy about 40% of the page, allowing the background to be prominently displayed.
- **Background Ambiance:** Swirling, psychedelic arabesque pool of contemplation.
- **Detailing:** Characters should be finely detailed with black lines, not just flat colors. Aim for dimensionality and visceral detail.
- **Interaction:** The Floating Eye Orb should appear to be projecting the background, which the humanoid character is enjoying.
- **Overall Theme:** The scene should evoke the sensation of being in a virtual realm, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.

**Final Thought:** The cover should capture the essence of being lost in a mesmerizing, virtual world, with the two main figures serving as guides or anchors to this intricate universe.
