Description

Another illo from the Apocalypse card deck, a zillion years ago. This was a strange one for being (like Day) one half of a two-illustration card. I don't recall much about the functionality, but there's a certain obviousness revealed by the choices made: Life/Death (painted by Chris Moeller) and Day/Night (Painted by Ed Beard Jr.).

As with a all my older work (and all of my present work), there's plenty to poke at. The shadows, for instance, read more like he's been painted blue than being effected by the light. We learn and grow. (Or we get bludgeoned until we learn.)

Pencils to start with, Painter for the finish. I was riffing off of Simon Bisley and Paolo Parente for this one, big time.

Wow. You just married Frank Frazetta and Bill Watterson into a very cool style.
