Description

I borrowed the following words from Mr Nowlan's old blog. They provide a fascinating insight into the creative process... including when time runs out.

ROUGH: "This is the rough that was approved for the Spirit inventory cover. I don't always fill in the black areas with a marker but the large, contrasting areas were pretty important to the overall design so I wanted a dry run before I moved forward."

PENCILS: "These pencils are way too tight for something I knew I'd be inking myself, but I wasn't certain about the overlapping patterns of black and white. I wanted to make sure I had it all worked out before I loaded up the ink pen."

PUBLISHED COVER LESS TYPE: "Here's Matt Hollingsworth's coloring for the new cover. I was thrilled when Matt agreed to do it. The cover was originally done as an inventory piece but when it suddenly found its way onto the schedule I was tied up with other deadlines and couldn't do the colors and seps. Matt understood the effect I was going for with the big head and the subtle coloring on the buildings. He's been my favorite colorist for more than a decade now. His work always enhances the art but never overpowers it."

Sadly, I only have the inked cover...
