I colored an old sketch of my brother. Now, you may think this is an insulting picture because of the foolish expression he’s wearing, but it isn’t. This is my brother making silly faces for his nieces. This is my brother being awesome. Love you, Eric.
Here’s the completed image. It was designed as a full spread. That means nothing important in the way of the center fold. Also, not much is happening on that right side because it would have a fade over most of that half with text overlaid.
Here’s the scene with a few more leaves and the characters roughed in. I’ll adjust the placement a bit and work on the proportions a little. Need to figure out how to do the folds on the lower girl’s shirt. Then comes final lines and coloring. 
Making progress…
And I’m done! Here’s the cover image for The Genie Loophole by Paul Maguire which I’ve been working on for the last two months or so. I’ll post a link when it goes up for sale!
I reworked my Medusa image because the original black and white one was sort of visually confusing. This one’s better. I haven’t decided what I’ll use it on yet. Coffee mug, anyone?
Here’s a poster of it.
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) is having a Postcard Illustration Contest. I created some images for the competition. They are supposed to be kite-themed. Here’s the first one.
Inktober #30
Same thing only in color. 🙂
Now he has some color. Why do I have a feeling he’s a cat burglar or something like that?
Or maybe he’s a longshoreman.
