Description
Over the last few months, I've been working with Avatar in between pages of Freakangels to put together a 16 page mini artbook that will be sold at Wizard World Texas which I'll be attending as a guest this November!There are 3 variant covers , each of which has been created for this collection, and this is the Wizard World exclusive variant. I'll be posting up the standard variant in the next few days too, but you can see it at the link above in the meantime
Technical Info: As usual the pic is pencil lines coloured in photoshop. The original pencils are A3 sized. Photographic textures from CG textures were used to relieve the flat look of the photoshop shading, and picture was referenced using a 3D model of a Boeing 747 and a simple figure to scale (I could only achieve that sort of perspective with an extreme lens), along with this awesome article about cloud and jet effects.
There's no theme to this really, I just thought it would be a cool image, and I vaguely want to write a story about a mystery shopper who is hired by an airline.

loving the vortex effects so much! I recall, years back, storming out of the house to the comic shop to pick up Freakangels #1 right after seeing a few of the sample pages online. Thoroughly enjoying stuff sir

This is increidble. So abstract and epic. I love how you did the jet trails. So awesome. The color schemes are one of the great elements of your work and this one is exceptional. Of course the detailed line on the clouds are a plus as well. I hope the book does well. I will definitely buy a copy if I can. So far I only have the Tempest but, I'm trying to make my collection more comprehensive. Great work dude.

I love the surreal, contented look on his face, and the way his pose is only slightly symmetrical. I can totally see this being a story.

oh, so lovely! this is definitely my favorite of the three variant covers. the coloring and lines are so flawless, just perfection! and the airplane plus the teal palette makes me think it's a little retro too
