I'm really digging some of the stuff Mike's been coming up with lately. I'm also grateful he's let me color some of it as well, it gives me a chance to try new things (never colored a desert scene like this before!) and try to improve.
The published cover is colored to be Alice from Zenescope's Wonderland series (find the colored cover here). And since it was colored by the great Nei Ruffino, I was always worried about "copying" what she did. Mike was really wanting to see this colored with Calie instead, and so that's the direction I went. Mike's been great with this, he's given some pointers along the way which I've went with.
All that said, there may be more edits, but I felt it was at least ready to be posted. Let me know what you think!
