MAGNETO #1 COVER. 2013. Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) on bristol board, 11 × 17″. |
Magneto #1 is out today, featuring the fastest cover I've ever done. It was one of those rare moments when I knew exactly what I wanted to do, sketched it out in less time than it takes to deliver a pizza, and even executed it quickly. Not including my Dad's inks, it took me 5.5 hours (most of which was spent rendering the barb wire, reference below). You can see a preview of the comic (which looks awesome) at
CBR.
Layout: 0.5
Digital sketch: 1.25
Pencils: 2.75
Colors: 1
Total: 5.5 hours

And again your creativity flows in the muscle of your awesome art!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that u r that detailed oriented to photo reference barb wire. But that extra step in the process really makes the cover better!
ReplyDeleteOf course! The majority of the "wacky reference" I use is just so I know what simple stuff looks like. My computer is filled with pics of the most mundane objects and settings.
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful piece! Bravo!
