Marvel posted an article a few days ago plugging a recent issue of ImagineFX magazine that featured Marvel cover artists. I was very fortunate to be included with this group, especially given the fact that I have only done a handful of covers for Marvel. (I am working on a few more as we speak, featuring my favorites Spider-man and Wolverine.) Small fish in a big pond! Anyway, click on the image to go to the article.

This is some cover art for the new issue of ImagineFX magazine. I was asked to create some artwork paying homage to the movie Blade Runner and to the design work of Syd Mead. I also put together a step-by-step walkthrough along with the original layered Photoshop file on the included DVD. In case you’re wondering about the curious composition and blank spaces, they are the areas that will be covered or obscured by text and logos on the magazine cover.
I wish I had had a little more time to put into it, but I had about a week’s time in which I was also trying to knock down a few other deadlines. Woulda coulda shoulda.
Anyway I hope you like it!
