Wonderful experience with my coworkers, my daughter and wife at Bad Axe Throwing. Our coach, Kyle, was a blast and so cool to have my Ren @blanketblood.art joining in the fun. #walt #badaxethrowing #axethrowing #outwithfreinds #goodtimes #urbanpeoplepayingforfreeruralthings (at Bad Axe Throwing) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AgbX9p_oM/?igshid=1vj5y1i0h0x5o

New book cover Illustration!
LIGHTSHIFT: RETURN OF THE JUDGES by Inman B Gwyn - The future utopian city of Refugium is set on edge by the apocalyptic prophecies from a secretive religious sect. If they are crazed zealots, why are so many strange things happening? - This debut novel puts a fresh and modern science-fiction spin on one of the original superhero epics, the biblical story of Samson.

Inman gave very detailed art direction for the characters and scene. They were originated with the incredible help of Jay Marsh, @jaymarshart, who used 3D models with DAZ3D Studio. See my previous post. I got the characters, wall and city as separate renders from Jay as transparent PNG’s. I converted them as smart objects PSD’s in Photohop layers and move things around and added all sort of layers and edits. I created the axe in Illustrator and the predator looking helmet was completely painted in Photoshop. With only 3 sets of revisions we came to this final complicated cover. I love the way it turned out! The book is now available on Amazon as an ebook and paperback.

RAVENS & MOTORCYCLES book cover illustration detail and then SWIPE <<<<< LEFT to see the whole cover. Photoshop and Daz3D. The motorcycle is a 3D model that was highly modified in Photoshop. The figure and all the other details were hand painted with my Wacom tablet. Love the vintage 1950s look. This was my 4th cover for author P.S. Naumann back in 2008. - - - - #raven #motorcycles #vintage #1950s #badass #nightscene #bookcover #illustration #photoshop #daz3D #realism #wacom #yanovel #bikeriding #atlantaillustator https://www.instagram.com/p/B16YitiJv6J/?igshid=1pm3liy682tpp

New book cover illustration work in progress! Working directly with the author on his 97,000 word novel called Lightshift - Return of the Judges by Inman B. Gwyn. It’s a sci-fi fantasy novel with lots of characters and action. He wanted 6 characters on the cover but a talked him down to 4. With all the action and details I thought it best to call on a expert in 3D characters using Daz 3D Studio. This project was made for #daz3d and Jay Marsh at @jaymarshart created the characters and I added detail and text. The client loves it so far. Now my part of putting it all together in color and painting in details and texture that Daz3D can’t do well. #bookcoverdesign #bookcover #bookcoverillustration #characterdesign #scifibooks #sciencefiction ##goodvsevil #wip #sketches https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9PIzcJREj/?igshid=11blxdjk1afjl

#throwbackthursday Illustration I did way back for an editorial interior of some trade magazine about global live meetings or online classes. For the final, I started with a traditional oil painting then scanned it in and created vector art in #adobeillustrator then exported the #vectorart into #adobephotoshop and used a combination of different layer modes to reveal oil painting texture in the detailed vector art. #editorialillustration #onlineclasses #onlinecollege #onlinepresentation #globalmeeting https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxtW9SpTDj/?igshid=143abvshexrwo

Happy Juneteenth! Commemorates the abolition of slavery in the U.S. in 06/19/1865. This is a oil and prismacolor painting I did on TAUGHT RACISM. Racism is something that is taught not apart of our instinct, but our upbringing. Let’s end racism and slavery in all forms. #juneteenth #bekind #benice #loveall #endracism #startathome #illustrator #illustration #realism #editorailillustration #oilpainting #kkk #whitepower #whitesupremacy #burningcross #birthdayparty #klukluxklan https://www.instagram.com/p/By6Dyofpysh/?igshid=1gy8yfhkas90a

Finished vector portrait for the Ralph W. Turner Foundation. To be used on shirts, cups, website and any other promotional uses.

Work in progress portrait commission. I think it’s too many lines, but I was trying to create shading on the right side of the face.
