Artist's Comments

I did this almost 2 weeks ago, but didn't have time to post. This is just a preview so certain elements may change. For example, the background image is currently a digitally manipulated stock photo ([link] by ~DestroyingAngels) which will likely be replaced with a traditional painting. Also, I am considering repainting Dru, the ghostly spirit in the back (you may recognize the image from my gallery), to match the style of Mannix in the foreground.

Your thoughts, suggestions and critiques are, as always, most welcome!

I like it! if Dru's meant to look ghostly maybe making her slightly transluscent would help with the effect?

Desmond?
Derriere?

Really? Aw shucks thanks!
=Oshouki:iconOshouki: May 14, 2008, 7:36:22 AM
Thanks! She is already like 95% transparent (layer-wise) in that image -- unfortunately, any less opaque and she just washes out with the busy background -- at least in this incarnation of the cover. I really appreciate your suggestion though!

I started using Oshouki as a screen name and alias way before I decided to pursue to be actually published. But I know what you mean and here's my dilemma: Daniel Oshouki Wong would be too damn long. I lose the Oshouki "branding" if I just use Daniel Wong. Just Oshouki may be confusing and looks kinda out of place with the full name of the writer just above it.....I have such a hard time deciding things lately...

Gotta say the background's a good pick for Dru since it matches her colors, but now the protagonist looks lonely. hehe

I've also got to comment on the superb coloring of Mannix. First time I see him colored and I am in awe. Mainly by the variety of colors you've used, as in the hair. It's good to see work with more effort than basic colors. I also favor your coloring style with no noticeable outlining. That also makes the figures blend better into the background.

I've been envious of the numerous digital painters on dA for a long while and decided it's a skill I want to acquire -- painting without lines. This is the first one (of many that will never see the light of day) that I'm satisfied with. And the variety of colour in the hair is pretty much accidental -- came out as a result of tweaking sat-hue-etc. after I finished.

Thank you so much for your compliments and (as always) for noticing the details.

Yeah on second look I can see how she'd get lost in it. It's still an awesome cover either way :)
