Man-Gull Issue 1 Cover Inksby ~rianmiller

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Pages

Here are the inks for the cover to Man-Gull #1. With luck, you'll be able to buy a copy at the Small Press Expo in exactly 2 months and 1 day from today, and shortly thereafter online.

This took in the vicinity of 9 hours to ink. The entire thing was done with quill (aside from the solid blacks, which were, of course, filled in with a brush). The layout is an homage to a pulp magazine cover painted by H.J. Ward back in the late 1930's. I got the idea for the black bars at the top and bottom from ~GreenSkyZero. He put them on his cover for Forever Winter #1, so I decided to adopt the same look for Man-Gull's cover to create a sense of uniformity within our...company? Can I call it that? Label? You get the idea.

Drawn on Strathmore bristol, inked with a quill and a brush, and cleaned up in Photoshop.

You're welcome brochacho! And how could I not? It's pretty win.

haha, awesome. i love the seagull's dead eyes and the dude's facial expression.

Thanks, Ross. Aside from the arms, Man-Gull's body language and (lack of) expressions are no different from any ol' seagull.

Too cool man...

~rianmiller Jul 10, 2011 Professional Traditional Artist

I was hoping it'd be just cool enough, so I guess I'm exceeding my expectations!
