another warm background cover but this time they preferred it over the cool bg...
This is not as gritty as my usual covers as I'm trying to match the interior artist's clean style...
real colorists can definitely do a better job but I need the
practice so I have to do this from time to time....
from this day forward, I will never layout on the actual page anymore... I realize sketching on a small paper, scanning, blowing it up and printing is pretty darn helpful...
The neck could have been a bit thicker filling out the back where it goes to the hood, and the eye seems a bit high. What do you think? Colors are great and the values are nice. Maybe a different color/value on the background would have poped him out a bit. But as always, it has your unique style that we love.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Your colour treatment is very nuanced and painterly, like crisp, smooth watercolours. Reminds me a bit of the pre-Raphaelites.
Could I trouble you for a description of your colouring method, what program and tools you used etc?
I'll have to pick this one up just for the cover art.
