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.

The colouring on the woman's body is probably my favourite: the muscles are present without being too overbearing and her hair still has a shine to it without it being the sort of cliche shine that one might find in a hair product advert

Why didnt anyone notice the great "mist" effect? I mean, when you are facing the sun, far items are kind of blurry, though close items are quite neat, and you have caught this really well.
Plus rock details, soft skin, and wonderful light/shadow effects. Nice combination of 2 talented artists.

I so want the high res to this - if only to practise the stommach definition and legs muscles as you've done them here...

sorry, eric wont give me permission to give them to you, although i'm pretty sure steve has given you a piece or two of his. i guess if eric had known about it he would have said no then too

humphf... ebas gave me some of his high res pencils a few years ago himself... still haven't done one or two of them, so I guess they'll have to do... *crosses ebas off the 'really nice guy list' and adds him to the 'mostly ok guy list'...
ahhh well...

Gorgeous! As usual! I love the way that you color, it just flows so beautifully! Is this comic on sale soon? if so could you link a site or will it be in regular comic stores? Like here in Oregon. It looks so gorgeous, I really want to pick it up and see what it's about!
