Description Did this for a friendly cover competition in ImagineFX to come up with a design for a dummy issue that was themed on character design. This was as far as I could get before the deadline expired. They've since held a comp in which the cover design was actually used, but I didn't have time to go in for that one.

Started Sketching in Sketchbook Pro and then moved across into Painter. You could go for single or double page format and being greedy I went for the latter - Who wouldn't?

Makes me sad that there is a watermark because I love the detail.

Fantastic job xD The hair is amazing, all of them look so unique, it's quite wonderful.

Sorry about the watermark - you can find an unmarked copy on It'sArt under the same Nickillus name.
Thanks for the comment.
