OK, I LOVE this piece!!! SEE, I can draw dudes, ha

I actually did it on a friends computer while I was traveling for a show (Photoshop CS4, I prefer CS3)
It was one of those pieces that just came together in all the right ways.
All the line work was done with pencil then scanned in and I retraced the line in photoshop to make it look more refined.
The hair is done with scanned in brush strokes made with a Japanese calligraphy brush, then finished with white soft brush strokes in photoshop. The skin....well that's kind of an extensive process. I'll make a video of that SOON so you guys can steal my technique and soul, ha.
The Belt was all done in photoshop using gradients, scanned in textures and the shape tool. The sword was done the same way. The blood on his arm was done by scanning in ink blotches on watercolor paper, then colorized in photoshop. I actually used black ink for that.

This is the First cover for a new series with a old character, Elric. I'm pretty sure I'm doing the next few covers for this and I'm going to go ALL out for them. So keep your eyes peeled and go buy them (when they're out)

More to come soon!

As a teen, I really enjoyed Michael Moorcock's books about Elric as the Eternal Champion. Bravo to you art, which captures the image superbly.

Hi I'm Danny, a french artist, and I'm a big fan of Elric the Necromancer, and I must say that none of its official representations pleased me so far ... Yours is the best, really.

Thank you so much, that's a huge complement!

Is he human or another kind of race? Nice work, Theirison.

*theirison Oct 28, 2012

Im pretty sure he's another type of race

I never read the books, however, I do have Wendy Pini's, Law And Chaos book, (I highly recommend)and she portrays the principal character, well, pretty much everyone of his people, with the physical attributes of her own creation, Elfquest or, closely similar to the Vulcan, Mr. Spock. Good day.
