Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose

A couple of years ago, at Star Wars Celebration IV, I met Jim Balent and Holly Golightly, both artists, and badgered both of them constantly about my artwork. Both of them were kind enough to critique and offer me advice. Another great thing about them, is that they run their own comic book company, Broadsword Comics, and have a hit comic, Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose. A few months after I met them, Jim contacted me about doing Flat Work for their comic and had me do a test page to see if I could handle it, and I've been working for them ever since.
Early last year, I asked Jim for a commission of me as a Dragon Witch, as the Dragon Witches in Tarot are my favorite characters to look at, and he did a marvelous job of drawing me as a Snow Dragon Witch. Along with the drawing came the offer of actually being a character in Tarot, as he really liked drawing me as the Dragon Witch. I accepted and posed for it and in December, I got the inks to start flatting.
The issue actually came out last month, but I'm happy to finally be able to share the results with everyone.



He also made the drawing he did for me, a litho and made another one to accompany the actual comic:



I also did a piece that was featured in the comic itself, which I'm very excited about!



I will be ofering the issues up for sale soon!

Sketch of the Day - Poison Ivy

As promised, I finally sketched a character that wasn't from the Marvel universe. Instead, today's sketch is of DC Comic's Poison Ivy.
