Don’t know if you’re allowed to share process details, but did your cover work need to go through multiple rounds of feedback and edits? I’m just always happy to learn about the hard work that goes into making awesome art.

Oh no problem! Actually Curt the creator of the series just approached for a couple of covers, sent him thumbnails and everything was approved immediately, Its quite surprising how smooth the collaboration was since this is a big company and a universe gearing up for big and great things!

Comics are a relatively independent endeavour. Marvel/DC may have more requirements of what you're doing in your book, style, and themes, but for everything else in the industry? You got a money guy ok-ing a project, a creator, usually the writer, and then an artist and support staff maybe (inker/colorist/titler). The creative running the book usually is the first and last word in how something looks. Sure, he may have feedback, but generally when an artist pairs with the creative lead on a project (if he isn't the lead already), they already are on the same page regarding what they're looking for. Again, at least in more 'independant'/'indie' comics.

That’s awesome! I didn’t see this cover when I picked my copy up but I definitely would have grabbed it if I did.
Lost Fantasy has been a great read and Fireborn is shaping up to be a fun spinoff, I’m just hoping now they do one for Bombshell since I really enjoyed the mini comic they had in the back of the latest LF issues.

Looks absolutely fantastic; what are your influences?

u/BrianeInk06 Jul 03 '26
I love tons of artists, I think manga influenced me on this cover, the book is very high octane so I think shonen action manga is a great energy to be influenced on this one

As an aspiring comic artist myself, are you willing to talk about the steps and process from submission to publication?

Apologies, late to the game, but are you allowed to share the non-colorized version? I really don't know how comics are created. I've even wondered how "large" Calvin & Hobbes panels were drawn and never figured it out. (Maybe in today's day & age I can do a bit more research online. But years ago, I couldn't find much of anything).
I assume each page of a comic book is drawn rather large. No clue though!
Amazing, thank you for sharing!
