WIP: Finished "Tales From the Harbor"



Editorial had me flip it so Frank and Drac were on the front of the book (this is a wraparound). If I look at all the guys individually there are things that bother me, but I like it as a whole. Not very rendered or realistic, but somebody on the internet said my work has a "rough charm," so I hope this has that, hahaha. It's tricky for me to do group shots even if they're all just sitting around... something I need more practice with.

The colors, as usual, are awesome. You really set the mood. I can almost smell the cigar smoke! And I love Drac's poker face:)

Nice Idea, The group picture turned out well. Conscious or not I think Wolfman was a good choice for being a character in alot of shadow. With all the hair he eneds up having a distinct silhouette as opposed to the rest of the characters.

Nicely done, Jay must be excited.
