Twilight Star

So this week my blog post is going to be very image heavy.  I decided since the guys over at Twilight Star have already shown off all of the covers I’ve worked on for them that I would gather them up and show them all here.  Hopefully I didn’t forgot any!

I figure I’ll start with the most recent and my personal favorite so far. There were just a couple things in this one that turned out really well in my opinion. That bone helmet/head gear (whatever) thing on the guy in the background I’m especially proud of. Just the way the shading and highlights worked out I just think it all clicked on this cover. It was fun!
The cover for Necrotrancer: Shades of Gray.

I also have a video of the coloring process on this one.  It’s a speed video set to music.  Bill Gladman picked the music and it’s actually the two songs he has had in his head as the soundtrack for these characters, pretty cool.  Here’s that:

Next up the cover for Tales From the Field #3.  I had fun painting in the clouds on this one.  I love clouds, it’s seriously like my favorite thing to do when I’m coloring. lol

This one you actually get to see the full cover with the title and everything.  If I’m recalling correctly this was the first cover I colored for them.  Since taking over on Darkwing I’ve gotten a bit better at special effects thanks to tips from Andrew Dalhouse. So seeing this one again I wish I could go back and retouch a few things. To late now though I believe this one has already been printed.

I think I’ve done one other thing for them but I can’t remember if it was being used as a cover or not.  So I’ll hold off on posting that one.

For anyone not in the know Twilight Star Studios is a great group of guys from the Springfield Ohio area releasing heaps of quality independent titles.  They have a website in the works but if your interested in learning more you can check out this forum: Twilight Star Forum Updates Bill Gladman updates frequently with what’s new from Twilight Star.

So with that I’ll close for the week.  See ya in 7.
