Description This is the cover I did for the hardcover trade paperback collection of Dark Horse Comic's first SERENITY comic-book miniseries, based on Joss Whedon's tv show & movie.

Yet another digital colorization of a gray tonal drawing.

18" X 27" on sketchbook/pad paper; pencil, ink, marker, white paint, Berol Prismacolor pencil, and then Photoshop CS2.

FIREFLY was the bestest, shiniest tv show. Ever.

At the very least, it was my favorite.

Just spent the last two days revisiting the series, and the movie in order... I REALLY miss these characters. With all the garbage they have on television these days, canceling Firefly was a travesty.

Glad you drew this, Sir.

Oh, my...how awesomely shiny. This is fantastic! I've seen so much of your art in so many different places, and I'm just beyond excited to find you here on DA. I hope you know how happy you make fans of Star Wars, Firefly, DC, Marvel etc. with your stunning artwork. You've got such a refreshing and beautiful approach to old favorites. Thank you sincerely, and keep it up!

I actually have that picture on my wall. Really great work, it has subtlty and the look of adventure to it (unlike a lot of posters they do for similar prohjects these days which seem to be a facial shot of a celebrity with a name on it - disappointing)

A really good piece of work. The sepia nature adds that extra little element of tear-to-my-eye about its cancellation.

And Serenity was the absolute best ship out there. Lack of weapons non withstanding. I even designed my own ship after it.

People say Serenity is an ugly ass ship. I think it is a beautiful ship. Not only an extremely functionally design but just an amazing ship in general.

Oh, of course. I would agree she is ugly, but thats the main reason she is beautiful. Its like a pug, yeh know? Hell, I designed my own ship after the Serenity.

This is awesome! great work!

my show favorite too. I cant believe the show was canceled. I personally thought that the characters in the movie Serenity didnt have their personalities from the show.
Any thoughts?

AdamHughes In reply to deadrat117 [2009-08-17 22:47:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, the movie had to fulfill some specific requirements, so I think the characters had to be 'moviefied'.

Above that, FOX (the network that ran Firefly) made Joss Whedon & crew soften the angst of Mal and make the characters a little more humorous than Mr. Whedon originally intended. I personally feel that in the film SERENITY, Joss got to make the characters (especially Mal) the way he originally wanted to do them on the show.

Just a guess.
