A book cover I did for Irene Gallo at Tor books. I have the final, the actually book cover, and a quick process shot. I had a great time doing this. Irene originally posted this at her blog The Art Department, a great place to visit and a great portal into the illustration world.

Visit here and look at some great art.

O yes I think I saw this on Irene Gallos Blog. It's a great piece! Lots of raw energy and takes me back to where Frazettas work too me when I was a boy reading the old Conan paper backs. Great work!

Holy shit, great painting *and* I love the Runelords books - this is soooo much better than the covers on the older ones!
