This is the 3rd book in the Ring of Five series, published by Random House and written by the great author
Eoin McNamee . Always a bittersweet feeling when I wrap up a series. It's great to have that completion , but many times you wish you could explore the worlds even more.
You'll notice there's a lot of empty space in this, which was part of the concept, but also because a great deal of it is the trim and bleed. Thanks for checking in!

Looking good, man! Loving some of the grittier thumbnails too. Really like the original pencil drawing, actually.
Damn! This is awesome, Scott!
I love the wings, remind me eagles wild. I love wings at human... and they have a great face expression
I love how you rendered the wings! I too also like the pencil sketch! Awesome work!
I love the tones and colors in this! man the subtle variations look super nice. Thanks for posting all the process shots, man! I love seeing this stuff. :)
Wow, great clouds.
oh for sure! (I admit I can be abit lazy when it comes to commenting too)
Oh! I was at SDCC this year, and I bumped into Daren and Dave (I think you usually hang out/display with them?) I was pretty much in awe of their whole booth.
(and forgot to take a photo with them ah!)
The one year I go and you're not there! haha
Woulda been cool to have met you in person!
spencer- thanks. Honestly I like the drawing more than the completed piece...but I find I like the grittier, rawer images than a slicker , polished piece.
Deivison -thanks so much! I've actually been fortunate to have a few jobs where I get to paint wings on humans..fun stuff!
Jeffrey - thanks so much! Yeah -I definitely need to get back to SDCC- would have been great to meet up! THinking about coming back anytime soon Talk to you soon my friend : )
Eric- thanks man. Ya know -it was a little tough trying to stick to the original covers since I did those years ago. We are different artists even months apart, so working on something over a long period was a bit of a challenge.
Chris- glad you dig them sir. Had fun playing with those clouds :)
VERY nice !

Nice post. I always liked this series Scott. Great pencil sketch as well.

Keep it up! :) I hope all is well in your life.
