Artist's Comments

This is the frontispiece for DIFFERENT SEASONS, a novella by Trever Palmer that my wife and I will be publishing in October. I'm pretty proud of this one as it is such a departure from my normal style. For this book, I wanted to do something stylistically different and special for the frontispiece. This piece is inspired by the work of Stephen Gammell, illustrator of the SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK series of children's books. This is one of the first pieces I've done that I used a lot of pencil and charcoal on.

Ink wash, pencil, charcoal, acrylic
8 X 11
about 20 hours.

This is different from what you normally do.
I like this, it's very nice.

you should do more stuff with ink washes, the shading is very well done.

have you gotten the stuff for home invasion i emailed you? or should i resend it to "tim"? ;)

terrific work, man! Very different to your classic inkwork, but equally interesting. It'd be great to see more pieces done in a style like this... :+fav:

Amazing work. It has dramaticly different style than in your normal work. But I love it. It has a great sinister atmosphere.

dude this jumped rite out at me in the thumb nails. awesome stuff. i can see the Stephen Gammell influence and i dont even know who he is...its odd, i know that type of work from another artists here on DA that used to do alot of drawing that were influenced by him. i should look him up.

i hope that all made sense.im a little tired.

Man ink washes give off such a good effect with liquids and give such a solid black. I really like the trees as they are very horror like in their jagged form and the moon is great with the blood dribbling down. The mysterious creature on the hill is really cool too even if you don't really good look at him. Adds to the mysterious feel.

Very cool overall.
