This is the cover to issue number twelve of the anthology comic series Tales From The Plex from publisher Futurius Comics. It features the Lovecraft/western mash-up story On the Plateau written by Sam Costello, penciled and inked by me and lettered by Dann Lundie. It's available print on demand by Ka-blam Digital Printing. You can buy a copy from Indy Planet an online comic shop.
Here is an example of the process from the pen and ink sketch to the finished painting - Saint Vahan and the Persian King. I was given very specific suggestions for each image by my client the publisher of New Faith to New World - The Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern). They also frequently asked for changes after seeing the initial sketch. In all, I did thirty-nine paintings for the book (you can see all of them at my other blog or buy the book).
The book New Faith to New World is dedicated to the women of the Armenian Church. I would also like to thank the Women’s Guild for helping to fund the project and donating copies to each parish.
New Faith to New World is available for purchase, for $20 per copy, from the St. Vartan Bookstore; call (212) 686-0710, ext. 152 for information.
Here is the cover to the book I illustrated New Faith to New World by Hagop Nersoyan. Glenn Markarian did the graphic design. I've put several of the original illustrations up in an eBay store. Check them out here. http://stores.ebay.com/BK-Video-Audio
