Description
I can finally upload this image! I drew this as the cover for my comic in the new IndieManga anthology, Legends, and we ended up using it as the front cover image. I had made it as a possibly front cover, hence there's plenty of space left for a title and stuff, and the colour scheme and layout deliberately invert those of the cover of our previous book, 'Origins'.The book will be released at MCM Expo in London this month, and will be available through IndieManga's online shop shortly after! See the site for details:

Up until the colours, I used the exact same technique and style as the comic this is the cover for. The inking and snow effects were done in Manga Studio debut 3.

I like this very much! The style and mood of this piece reminds me strongly of the art of the Waite-Rider Tarot cards, by Pamela Colman Smith!!

Thank you! I'm not really very familiar with tarot card sets, but sounds interesting!

The Rider-Waite deck is the most popular; the artwork is brightly colored, with figures in medieval clothes! I collect various decks, but this one remains my favorite.

Everything about this -- the coloring, the linework, the posture, the emotion -- is just amazing. Definitely my favorite of your pieces.

Thanks a lot! The character in the comic is quite an interesting one, so it was fun making a cover about her. It ended up as the cover for the whole book in the end!

That's really nice. The little background castle design adds just the perfect touch to it.

Thanks! The castle is actually part of the comic this was made as a cover for ^_-
