Progress has been going steady on Salvage Hounds, and today I’m ready to reveal the full color cover for the 40 page book!
This was a challenge to create, as I wanted to get all the main characters in there, plus the Mutt, their aging, but stalwart vessel.
I also just happened to nervously turn on video capture as I was working on the cover. I ended up with footage of some of the inking, painting and coloring sessions. I’ve never done this before, but was surprised I was able to forget about the fact that I was being spied on as I worked.
So, I edited all that footage down into a 10 minute video and shared it on the Twilight Tangents YouTube channel.
You can see the cover taking shape from the inking stage to the final colors, with on-screen notes about how I’m working, including software, brush pack names, and tips. I hope you’ll get a kick out of peeking behind the scenes and seeing how I work.
More Salvage Hounds coming soon!
