Artist's Comments

The final colors for a cover illustration I did for White Wolf's RPG EXALTED... Specifically, the cover to (deep breath) THE BOOKS OF SORCERY, VOLUME IV: THE ROLL OF GLORIOUS DIVINITY I.

Fine color Photoshoppery by Lee Duhig of Guru eFX (colorists of LIVEWIRES, IRON MAN: HYPERVELOCITY, DIRTY PAIR: SIM HELL REMASTERED, and scads o' other stuff o' mine); shockingly, his head did not, in fact, explode upon seeing how many bazillion characters he'd have to color!

Line art by yours truly, which you can see in B&W at:

You can see the initial rough for the piece at:

...and the finished pencils at:

Back circa 2000, Ryan Kinnaird and I did another cover for EXALTED, which you can see at:

After looking back (with disapproval) at the previous cover's lackluster number of characters, I decided to seriously increase the "crowd scene" aspect of the new cover... as you can see. Note, however, that a few characters from the earlier "GAMES OF DIVINITY" cover made it onto this one.

Also, White Wolf is running a contest regarding this new cover; stay tuned, as I'll eventually announce more details in a journal entry.

I don't feel what you feel
I don't want to feel this incomplete
No one here can tell me
How to fill this space between
Everyone knows you're my one regret
Everyone knows you're my one weakness

Excellent work! If there is anyone who can jazz up that series of RPG books, it would be the master. :)

Wow, I came back to my "watch" page and, suddenly, there it was!

I think this piece shows the importance of a good collaboration because as wonderful as your rendering and detail is in this piece, it's the coloring that helps make sense of this very dense "crowd scene". Congratulations to both of you!

(Client should be very pleased with this...)
