Spindrift Cover Painting

Man those mountains like to kill me before I figured out that a pseudo-cell-shading approach was best.

Anyway, as my watchers know, this is the cover for a manga called Spindrift that my writer and I are self-publishing for A-Kon. Lines done in MangaStudio, most of the painting done in Painter, and the final touches in Photoshop. Time? Probably 10-15 hours altogether.

CHeck my gallery for the in-progress versions.

ETA: Just change dit to Crit Discouraged because I have to get the entire damn book laid out TOMORROW and sent to the printer by WEDNESDAY. When it goes into a second printing, you can have your say then, but right now I am in an OMG I AM GOING TO EXPLODE state of mind because there are *still* edits to be done and extra stuff to be written for the inside and I cannot do one more thing on this cover.
