Description
Cover for Jay Company's Variant issue #1 of Mercy Thompson published by Dabel Bros.Lines by Eric Basaldua
Colors by me.
this one was like a dream really, when eric said he was going home to draw this one night i was so jealous thinking somebody else would get to color an ebas cover with wolves (my favorite animal)
when i started this (flatting it myself) i was really pumped about it, and promptly jumped right in to it feet first.
one thing about jumping into a cover is when you go in only with half your heart you might end up coming back out of it a little before you are done, but you stay safe in knowing you wont be over-thinking anything. but when you jump in feet first, you fall into it and can have your heart broken, much like love in fact.
i had my heart broken, as this didn't exactly turn out as i wanted. i guess in the end i'd wished the sunshine was someplace else.

i think think this one is pretty gorgeous! though i love all your amazing works, this is my abolute fav so far, don't know i think the whole commposition and colours are so harmonic and she looks so much like natural beauty, there's something wild and rough, but still very feminin and devine, and the smooth way it is coloured... just absolutely lovely! i love this earty colour tones!

It might have just been the lines. I wasn't feeling too well that morning, to be honest, but I know I saw it one way or another.
Looks AMAZING, by the way.

great work as always, but I think that the wolve's eyes were a bit small; it makes them look too feral, too crazy... otherwise great job!

I thought it was, just commenting that it almost doesn't look real. please, don't think I'm putting you down, I realize how it sounds. I love your work, just a comment from someone who probably didn't realize how it sounded.

I don't know what you're talking about. This is fantastic. I love that the lighting is behind her, giving her a kind of glow look. It's gorgeous.

I like it.
The sun might be bright but it doesn't substract from my impression of it being chilly where the girl is *g*
I wish I had your gift for coloring.
Favs!

Wolves and beautiful women, two of my favorite things. I sorta see what you mean about the sun, where it is now sorta takes your attention away from the details of the bottom right quarter or bottom third. It's still really good though.
Subtle with the ebas tattoo by the way.

hey, you did this with a broken heart...wow!
i think it came out just lavishly. as artists, our feelings really play a lot with the way we work and how the finished products come out. hope that heart of yours recover up quick...we don't want seeing friends sad and down. cheer up, nei, smile!

but the fuuur neeiiiiii. <3333 the fur is just.. outstanding as you always do it. You're displeased with it? :c i think it's amazing tho. I really love the way you treated the sunlight, even though you wanted it somewhere else. But what you said makes a LOT of sense though. I can understand it, I totally hate when I overthink color jobs. :c it always comes out.. substandard instead of my best. >.<'

let me guess your animal is either something like a tiger or unexpected like a rodent?
or monkeys?
