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 when I thought I had enough artists to be jealous of, you go and make me jealous even more of you. Agreed, that show was bestest... did you achieve those fire effects with pencil as well (tonal wise)... because that is quite amazing.

Fox killed Firefly. Airing episodes out of order and moving it around... I wish Joss had gone back to it instead of doing Dollhouse. Serenity/Firefly rocks!!!!

I love your Firefly/Serenity covers. Not only do you get the likenesses correct, but you also get the characters mannerisms spot on.

your Jayne is fantastic! Still love that hat.
Absolute favorite quotes:
Mal: Jayne?
Jayne: Yeah?
Mal: You wanna tell me how come there's a statue of you here lookin' at me like I owe him somethin'?
Jayne: Wishin' I could, Cap'n.
Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til ya understand who's in ruttin' command here. Now we're finishing this deal,
[breathing becomes a little more labored]
Jayne: and then maybe, *maybe* we'll come back for those morons who got themselves caught. You can't change that by getting all... bendy.
Wash: All what?
Jayne: [starts swaying] You've got the - the light from the console... keep you, lift you up. They shine like...
[starts grabbing at the air like he's trying to catch something]
Jayne: little angels...
[Jayne falls flat on his face]
Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?
Simon: I told him to sit down.
[Jayne is walking menacingly towards Mal with a large gun]
Jayne: Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun.
[he holds the gun out to Mal]
Mal: [exclaims in Chinese] You offering me a trade?
Jayne: A trade? Hell, it's theft. This the best gun made by man. It has *extreme* sentimental value. It's miles more worthy 'n what you got!
Mal: What I got? She has a name.
Jayne: So does this. I call it Vera.
Mal: Well, my days of not takin' ya seriously are certainly comin' to a middle.
Jayne: [about his mother's homemade hat] How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don't you think?
[flipping through Simon's journal]
Jayne: "Dear diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."
One of the best sci-fi shows I've ever seen. As always Joss Whedon's story telling and dialog were top notch. There are not many show that can stand up to his character development and dialog. Absolutely beautiful cover art, as always.

Yeah, I'm a big firefly fan and you do every one of them justice, sir. You have to have a rather large scanner to get that bad boy in the computer.

I watched this two summers ago thanks to an uncle of mine who practically threw it at me due to such shiny awesomeness. I fell in love with it. If I ever do come across this comic, I will most indeed buy it.

This is my favorite show too. It's just slightly above Rome.
I love it. And this looks amazing.
Is the book out yet?
I work at a comic book store now, so I will have to keep my eyes open for it if it is.

Bestest art for the shiniest show evar. *_*
Hey, did you check out Castle on ABC? (10 pm Mondays) Nathan Fillion plays a dashing and handsome smart-alecy captain who gets himself into all manner of compromising situations with the law.
Oops, I meant he plays a handsome and dashing smart-alecy author who gets himself into all manner of compromising situations with the law.
