Description Commision work: This is a cover that I did for the novel "La Versión del Minotauro" (The Version of the Minotaur). It´s a very dark novel about a politic conspiracy. The minotaur is not a real minotaur in the novel, but is a metaphor of the monster, the killer inside of the labyrinth of corruption and conspiracy.
Painted in Photoshop with a Wacom Cintiq12WX.
You can see the process HERE: [link]
and the cover without the titles HERE: [link]

I hope you like it

Comments and critics are most welcome

Por curiosidad, ¿cuánto tiempo te lleva en promedio una ilustración como ésta?

Pues creo que en esta tardé unas 14, 16 horas, pero no lo sé seguro porque estaba haciendo varios trabajos al mismo tiempo

Gracias
Pues para trabajar en editoriales... depende, a veces puedes mandar tu portafolio a la dirección de arte de la editorial en concreto, o puedes tratar de entrar en una agencia de ilustración y que te muevan ellos el trabajo, a veces incluso, como en este caso, no tienes que hacer nada más que tener un portafolio online y la editorial se pone en contacto contigo si le interesa tu trabajo

Very good!
I've just thought that will be great if you added effect of the long shutter speed on the lights. But I'm just thinking aloud. Anyway you've got a great work! Thumbs up!

Felideus In reply to GuzBoroda [2010-04-21 13:45:57 +0000 UTC]

Relax. It only takes a tiny bit of pressure. Make sure you're sitting up right and your arms have the full range of motion.
