Heroes for Hire #11 variant cover

July 26th, 2007

Hey evabody

This piece was done as a variant cover for the reprinting of Heroes for Hire #11, which is out on store shelves now! It’s a bit of a landmark for me, since it is my very first printed Marvel Comics cover. I actually did this one pretty recently, but for whatever reason it is the first out of the gate. Hope you like it.

Hi there -

I put together a book of paintings and sketches, a mix of personal work and freelance illustration work (a fair amount of Wizards of the Coast stuff). It’s full color interiors, 159 pages, and is available in hardcover ($48) and paperback ($35). You can order through my storefront page at lulu.com; here is a link:

The order page at lulu.com has a low resolution preview of several of the pages.

Drow of Praxirek

July 10th, 2007

Hello -

This is a slight re-working of a piece I did a couple of years ago called Drow of Praxirek, for Wizards of the Coast. The original can be found on my site. There aren’t really any drastic changes; the main issue I had was with the main (seated) character’s face. I darkened the skin on a few of the elves, since their skin is often described as glossy black or purple, and I wanted to try to get more of a sense of that in the image.
