Pencils and Inks by Terry BeattyColors by Melissa Kaercher
This book cover was generated for a new Max Allen Collins (The Road to Perdition) novel.
The specific instructions for this piece were to make it look like a battered Golden Age comic, warts and all. Besides just coloring the piece, I had to replicate the lithographic dot patterns, paper grain, faded inks, printing errors, and yellowed paper in PhotoShop.
It was great fun!
