Sinbad cover process

Description

Well, since Darren posted the cover, I guess it's finally safe for me to show this (I've been biting my tongue on this one for a few months now =D ).

This was one of those extremely cool projects that only comes along once in a lifetime if you're lucky. As most of ya know from some of my other deviations, :iconbluewaterprod: is launching a comic line based on the works of Ray Harryhausen. Darren's asked me to do a few of the covers here and there for some of the con variants for the books, which I was happy to do. But he also asked me if I'd do some of the 'super secret' covers as well.

The super secret covers were Ray Harryhausen's old pencil renderings. All Darren wanted me to do was colorize em. No fancy glows, multiple light sources, etc. Just simple colorizing like what ya see on those Turner films.

I don't think I have to say how much of a huge fanboy moment this was for a scifi/fantasy geek like myself, especially having grown up on Harryhausen's films. To explain how much of a geekout factor this was for me, I'd say it was the equivalent of a comic fan being asked to color some old Kirby or Ditko sketches. So like I said before, it's that once in a lifetime deal.

Anyway, enough of my rambling and geeking out. Hope ya'll dig the pics as much as I dug colorizing em.

Thanks heaps Darren!

Pencils: Ray "OMFG!!!" Harryhausen
Colors: me

And before I forget, there's at least 3 more of these colorized covers coming up that I was lucky enough to do.
