This is cover for a Sci-fi comic book i did awhile back, "The Singularity" . i really wanted to push my self to create something special, something that i could be proud of for years to come. looking back on it now this cover marks a time in my life where i made a serious transition from being an amateur comic book artist to being a good one.

The process for most for my art stays pretty consistent from piece to piece

I start off by simply penciling the best i can. i start with a rough sketch in blue color pencil then i lightly erase it and pencil over the residual blue to get the cleanest sketch possible.

The sketch took about 4 days and it was done on 11x17 bristol board art paper

After the sketch is finished I take it to Staples to have it scanned on a big flat-bed scanner.
i have them make a high-res pdf file for me (300 dpi). I take that file home and work on it in Photoshop.
The rendering consist of a 18-20 layer process that takes about 10-14 hours.
