Cover pencils for a new collaboration comic book series from Big Dog Ink and Bluerainbow Online called "Shahrazad". The concept behind this cover was pretty fun. I was told they wanted to do genre mashing concepts and I was trusted to choose my own combination. I REALLY wanted to draw a dinosaur so I suggested a World War II era elements mixing with prehistoric setting. In the end the dinos became the more overpowering element though because they kick ass.
"Shahrazad" #1 will debut at C2E2 this coming weekend supported by a group signing at the Big Dog Ink book with; J. Scott Campbell, Nei Ruffino, Ebas, Jen Broomall, and myself.
Pencils: me (Mike DeBalfo)

This is absolutely gorgeous, I love everything about it except that I don't think I'll ever understand why she's standing on her toes like that. It looks so uncomfortable.

Your attention to detail is phenomenal. You know you kick ass, so I'll leave it at that.
Do you ever get tired of hearing how great you are?

I suppose your pencils are not to be colored by random people, but I just had to ask....

Looks modest to be you, which is a compliment
But where (and why?) would she get mascara/eyeshadow/eyeshade, I wonder? Coal from a bonfire? Copper/Henna deposits? Is it really necessary? Not that I know what your concept is.
(Also, the more and more I stare at her left leg (from her viewpoint), the more I see a bird's or a broken foot, but that may just be me)

Also, dinosaurs have feathers now. Feathers are cool

You seamed to put some thought into why this doesn't "work" ...but if you'll read the description it says "World War II era elements mixing with prehistoric setting" and if you look in the background you'll see a downed airplane.
