Thou Shall Not Kill- WIP

This is a concept piece I started a while back. This rough sketch was inspired by a comic idea I had. It is a dark comic about psychotics who's mental illness manifests in dark powers. Think Carrie minus the prom. This scene depicts one character, a priest, who is tormented by murders he's unconsciously committed. I'm posting this so you can see a little bit of my process. I start with a blue line rough. After that I set up three different layers: mid, shadows and highlights.

Striped Woods

This is another Waking Elliot CD cover possibility. It was inspired by a sketch done by the lead singer. It was a stand alone tree with curled branches and black and white stripes. I had an idea for another cover (which I still may use) involving an "Alice-like" girl wandering throughout a gigantic dilapidated chess board. I brought the girl over to this cover and put her into a wooded area. The piece is not completely done. The whites need to be brought up and the girl needs a lot of work. This may be used as the back cover of the CD jacket. The black space in the middle would be where the tracks would be listed.
