Last week I did a cover for Boston circular The WeeklyDig’s winter issue. I’ve put the original illustration alongside the printed design. Hope it helps to get people into the holiday spirit!
I’m part of an art collective that does themed illustrations, and this past week’s theme was “Vikings” (as selected by me). I initially wanted to show a battle or a duel between two warriors, but ultimately I decided to go with a quieter scene where we find a lone Viking committing suicide having just been seduced/tricked by a Siren. I also wanted to find a comfortable middle ground for her design that made her appear sexual, beautiful and creepy all at once, while retain a calm visage. I will be selling this as a print on Society 6 ( http://society6.com/aerodynamicmountains/Viking-eiK_Print ) as well as at my upcoming comic conventions, starting with the BostonComicCon. Enjoy! -L
