The Tarrasque
A couple months ago Kate Irwin asked me to do a cover for Dragon Magazine #418 (which would also be paired with an article by Jeff LaSala). The main subject was a Tarrasque, a gigantic horribly destructive creature. The art description was very brief, just a few reference images, and the request: "we're looking for a Godzilla moment here". This ended up being ridiculously fun.

ReplyDeleteYou make it look so easy :) Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice! I need to try doing a b&W process sometime and coloring it. Do you work in layers till the end?
ReplyDeleteThanks all! I generally only work in two layers (unless there's a need for transparent effects, like spells). One layer for the grayscale on the bottom, and a color layer on top. I routinely convert the color layer to grayscale, just to make sure the values aren't shifting too far from the original grayscale.
