A detail montage of Blacksent: Book of the Umbra. You can see more of the details on the supporting characters that are somewhat lost in the full version. I'm especially proud of the buttons on Figment's shirt (the mage in blue).

A book cover commission for Blacksent, a fantasy series by Michael A LaFlamme and Michael D. Poe coming soon to a store near you! Keep an eye on ~blacksent here on DA for more info soon to follow. I've read the preliminary tale myself and I can attest that if you like old school fantasy with humor, drama, and action, you'll like this tale! This is but the first of an ongoing series soon to come.

The barren shores of McAmal loom in the distance as Ncon and his loved ones survive a rough landing on the dark island's shores. But who is destined to survive the journey and who is not? This is a trip the assassin Ncon has sworn to take alone, but those drawn to him by deeper bonds will not give up so easily.

They are the Umbra and their bonds will be tested.

Prismacolor color pencil on slick illustration board. About 5 months work (on and off).

It's all in the layering. I almost always layer with several different colors and then burnish with paler colors over the layers in order to blend them. Cloud Blue, White, Beige, Light Peach, and Cream are great for burnishing. I hope to actually get started on a color pencil tutorial one of these days!

lol wow I never thought making a print of a tutorial would be helpful for anyone and even if you're joking, it's a neat idea! Those would be fun to hand out to folks for their own education:)

Now I just need to get off my bum and DO them:P
