Description
Cover done for the third book in David's half-orc series. Finished this a little while back, around April I think.Book Description:
After a bloody conflict with his brother, Qurrah Tun flees west with his lover, the strange and powerful Tessanna.
He seeks a powerful tome known as Darakkenβs spellbook, guarded by paladins and priests of light. Qurrah hopes to cure Tessannaβs madness, but his newly returned master, Velixar, has far greater plans for the tome.
Only Harruq Tun and his friends can stand against the darkness his brother has unleashed. Velixar wants the throne and the secret that it hides, and to do so he will lay siege to the great city of Veldaren.

Fantastic work on the fire. On everything else as well, but the fire from the whip stands out, I think.

As usual, just want to say Peter's amazing, his art is amazing, and I think I had the most fun in working with him on this cover. Oh, and the guy with the whip is a necromancer, and those are his pet undead. And yeah, the paladin there is completely screwed.

Phenomenal work! Haven't seen much of your stuff lately, good to catch a fresh glimpse here. Gotta say, I love the design on the armor and that fire whip is wicked, but what steals the picture me are those skeletons behind the... what is he, a mage? They look like their leering at the hero, as if to say "what the f**k you going to do now?" Great work!

That is pretty awesome, but for some reason the lighting on his left foot, compared to the floor seems like its too sharp

Another amazing cover for the series.
Um If I may ask, how do you do the flames? Is it like a special brush or something?

Thanks
Yea pretty much done with custom brushs, as well as utilizing different types of layers (color dodge,screen) to get a more glow effect to it.

Interesting. I'll have to try that sometime. Hmmm. You make your own brushes? or could you tell me where find some?

Peter-Ortiz In reply to zathraya [2010-06-13 02:05:55 +0000 UTC]
Well to be more exact to make the fire: I created a new group and changed the group type to color dodge . I then created a new layer within the group, filled the layer with black and changed the layer type to screen. Then I just created a couple more normal layers under the screen layer, which were the layers I used to paint the flames in.
I usually just browse around for brushes I need, or I make one if I can't find a certain type I'm looking for. I can send you the brush set I'm usually using for my paintings.

Wow thanks for the explanation! I'll have to try that.
Is it the brush set that you put on the DA? Cause I got that one. If not I'd really like that. Thank you very much for your time by the way.
