Firebase Issue 8 Cover
Here’s the cover art I did for Firebase #8. At the time I was doing this, my regular job was really dominating most of my time including weekends. So, unfortunately I couldn’t devote as much time to this piece as I would’ve liked. Excuses …. excuses ….
My goal is to try to grow with each attempt at the cover. What is actually happening is that I’m just trying to get it done and be semi-presentable.
Time was running out so, I just finished up a bit here and a touch up there …. and sent it off to the editor. Although, I got a feeling I could’ve worked on it a few more days because the issue didn’t come out till almost two weeks later. Oh well … its all good.
This was done with pencils on a 8.5×14 paper. Scanned in and colored in Photoshop. The subject matter (an Adeptus Mechanicus force) is based off pictures of a converted Ad Mech Army. There are a few embelishments here and there on my part when I couldn’t quite make out what I was seeing in the reference pics but for the most part … its drawn from all the miniatures. The player who converted his army did a really nice job.
