Due East - Book 4 Cover

It's a day early, but I just couldn't wait! So here we go – Book 4 begins!

This cover was inspired by my wife (full_armor) and I am very grateful for her continued support and partnership in Due East. As you might imagine, this cover is extremely symbolic of our upcoming story. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll let the story explain itself as it unfolds.

Artistically, I used a combination of markers and computer coloring for this, which is something I feel pretty comfortable with now. It cuts down on time and allows some texture that flat computer coloring doesn't (well, not without a lot of layering and skills I have yet to develop… :)

Next update is Monday. Enjoy!

In the meantime, check out a new collaborative crossover comic I'm co-writing with the creators of Used Books and Wolf. It's called Off Hours and it involves the "actors" who play the characters on several Drunk Duck webcomics! Curious? Click the banner below to check out the comic.
