It's always nice when the artist is kind enough to let you share the process, and it's remarkable what a great artist like Tomasz can do with just broad strokes of the brush.

Holy roughs, Batman!
Here are some of Tomasz Jedruszek's roughs for the UK cover of Holy Sister.

& for good measure, here are some roughs for the Grey Sister cover.

Stunning, even though they're roughs..
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why is the final Grey Sister version so much... I don't want to say worse, but it's like a tiger with its claws trimmed, compared to the sketches. So typical, boring and cliche, completely unlike the book content and unlike the sketches.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Holy Sister - I like the first sketch the most (the girl looks like she has partially turned into a monster, as I expect her to in the book itself), though the final one is good too.
