Mass Effect: Homeworlds #3 cover

The last of the covers I did for the new Mass Effect series are being discussed on the Bioware message board, so I figure it's cool to show the next cover here.

This cover links up with the previous covers. I'll share the process behind this cover later in the week.

Mass Effect: Homeworlds #2 cover process

Think that if you're a cover artist you just draw a cover and all is perfect? Well, think again. Some times covers take a tremendous amount of work to get right. Here's an example of that:

Though it was hard getting through this cover, I think the end product is worth it. I'd rather fight with a cover and get it right than just have it come easily and end up with something I'm not happy with long term.

There you go.

Mass Effect: Homeworlds #2 cover

Hey all!

I've seen my second cover for Mass Effect: Homeworlds floating around the web, so I figure it's safe to share the first two covers linked up here.

All four covers will link up together and form a huge, unstoppable image. (It'll be the Voltron of comic covers! ;)

Here is the first cover's post.

I'll upload some process art for you folks in a day or so. Keep and eye out.

Best,
Mike

Mass Effect: Homeworlds #1

Hey,

Dark Horse's new solicitations are out, and if you've seen them you may have noticed I'm doing variant covers for a new Mass Effect series called "Homeworlds" .

Since they've released the cover image, and since this blog is essentially my online"sketchbook", I figured I'd share some of the process behind it.

I should start out by saying that the image used for the solicitation is not the final image, as I'll be tweaking the sky for the final comic. Also this cover is one of four covers that will make up one big image.

So, when the series is complete, you'll be able to butt all four covers together for a huge panoramic shot. Each cover will feature a different member of the game's cast set in front of a destroyed London backdrop.

A TON of work is going into this, which I'll share when I can. I'm excited to show you the final product, but we'll have to wait a few months for that.

Some pictures from the blitz of London I used as inspiration for the covers.

best,
Mike
