Death's Whisper Cover Art

Pen/ink/acrylic on illustration board.

The original of this is about 40" x 40". Initially sketched in pencil, then gone over in pen and ink, just black ink at this time, I then added the color with airbrush, using acrylic paint, there is a tiny amount of water color in this one also. The pool of blood was also heavy use of bristle brush work. The only thing not on the original is the brownish background, that was manipulated for the cover of the book using photoshop. It's a photo of my dad's garage floor actually.
