First work of the year!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 | Art, Byzantium, Comic | No Comments

It’s a cameo of Constantine the great that I made to cross promote my historical webcomic, Emperors of Byzantium, and my friend Irving’s blog, Neo Byzantium.

It was done with my favorite brush-pens, on a smallish piece of bristol board.

Hel-lo purple!

Purple being the color of the emperors, and, at the time, a dye that had to be harvested from millions of unhappy mollusks.

This is the cover for the latest chapter of Emperors, and it’s gonna be a good one!

It was done with colored inks and a terminally ill watercolor brush on incredibly depressing paper. You can see the wrinkles it made on the wash areas.
