Finally got the scanner back! Yay!

Pulp book covers, man - damn I wish they still needed artists for those things.

Gouache.

This is crazy impressive. A book with such a cover would certainly sell! The fact this is traditionally done blows my mind.

~KaiCarpenter Apr 17, 2012

Thanks a lot Hettie! It was a blast to make - thanks for looking!

I agree about the book covers. Do you sometimes feel like all the best reasons to be an artist are all gone?

~KaiCarpenter Apr 7, 2012

Haha it is SO hard not to feel that way! How much I would love to be able to do little covers like that, one campy story after another. What a job that'd be! I think it's worth it to think that if we try hard enough, we can make our own jobs that don't exist yet. Hasn't happened to me yet, but i got a little faith i guess

Fantastic work!!!

~GreenSprite Jan 26, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

This is awesome, except... why does she look like a metallic sculpture that came to life? Is that on purpose? Something about the face volume and especially the uber-shiny, blue skin looks off to me, despite the fact that the colors aren't meant to be exactly realistic overall.

It feels weird to post something that looks like critique, because honestly I admire your work to no end (this piece included), but I was curious.
