Final Gamble Issue 2 Cover Revealed!

 Hello everyone, it's almost been a year since my last post! I've been updating parts of the blog, but I've been so busy with art I can't share that this page has gotten dusty. Here's hoping I can be better about updating it, even if I'm still super busy with stuff I have to be careful about sharing.

What I can share, is Final Gamble issue 2's cover, which was announced on Band of Bards' Twitter! I'll include the final image here, and my process on it! I draw and color the Final Gamble covers, which is why they're a different color approach from the interiors, where Harry Saxon is doing an amazing job! 

You can also add Final Gamble to your orders at your local comic shop! We're in Previews, so please ask you comic stores to order you copies of the book!

Okay, here's a look at the process for the cover:

 

This was drawn and inked on Stillman & Birn Zeta paper, with colors done in Photoshop, and the icons on the slot machine walls done in Illustrator. This is continuing the motif from issue 1, where our leads, Jasmeet and Danny, are being thrown into a gambling machine but are threatened to being crushed by the system.

Final Gamble #1 is on Kickstarter!

 Hey everyone! So this has been under my hat for a bit, but there's a book that I'm working that is available for pre-order on Kickstarter! It's called the Final Gamble, and it's about 2 people trying to gamble their way out of a terrifying situation. If you'd like to see the pitch and video and maybe donate to receive your copy, here's the link: 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bandofbards/final-gamble-issue-1

TEAM:

Writer: Bobby Singer
Pencils & Inks: Me
Colors: Harry Saxon
Lettering: George Gant
Publisher: Band of Bards

I'll also include the process work for my cover of the first issue. So this one was tricky, so to make it easier on me, I created two separate pages for this cover: one was the characters and all of the money and pokerchips, and the other was just the slot machine background. After I inked them, I combined them in Photoshop and colored them.

The campaign starts today and goes for a month, so hopefully we'll meet our goal! 

This is the final version that you'll get if you preorder the book.
