Thread: Pulp Book Covers

  1. #21
    A bit of practice working with background images that I turned into a quick pastiche on the Carter Brown books as published by Signet.

    I finally have a working computer again! It's not a heavy weight but is powerful enough to be like a breath of fresh air.

    So, while these aren't completed covers, I am experimenting with a view to making more - though I think there is a little more of the modern comic book about them than old paperback but I'll run with it and see where I end up.

    As per usual, I'm using Poser and taking the image first to Serif's Affinity Photo and the Topaz Simplify filter, then it goes into Artrage.

    The first of these I took out most of the colour and did a fair bit of over-painting before starting with the palette knife. With the second, I removed all the colour, painting some back for the lips, eyes, and cat - there was less over-painting but lots of palette knife to get the painted effect.

    Not entirely please with this one as I don't like his head - otherwise, I think it's OK.
