A few years ago I had the opportunity to illustrate a short story called "Sisters of Sarronnyn: Sisters of Westwind" by L. E. Modesitt. At the time, there were certain time and budget restraints and the artwork suffered because of that. That has always bothered me and I have wanted to rework the art, just for my own satisfaction. Yesterday, having a little free time, but not enough to work on an oil painting, I started reworking this illustration in Photoshop. Here is a copy of the current painting in progress, as well as the original art, for comparison.
I like aspects of both of these, Kevin. I like the line work of the bottom one and yet prefer the composition of the top one. Both are wonderful. I would pick up a book based on both covers. So glad to know you are returning to get your MFA.
Wow. That's an interesting change in the details, Kevin. You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteI love your talent. Truly.
