Android Blues (graphic novel cover)

[stahlberg]

A cover for my graphic novel "Android Blues", that I've been working on for almost 20 years.
It's about an android of course, created by humans for our own nefarious purposes, and immediately on activation she ends up in a really bad situation. The ultimate exploitation of an innocent. Soon I'll post a few pages of it.

Some of the process - I modeled the character in Maya, and applied lighting, then painted over that in Photoshop:

Amazing concept and illustrations as always!

Really cool @stahlberg!!
I guess 3d modelling for properly laying volumes and lighting really helps speeding up the process, I used to do a bit of 3d modelling and animation for modding videogames some years ago.

[stahlberg]

Thanks! Yes it REALLY helps with repetitive shapes, and complex perspective, and lighting.

is there a release date for this graphic novel ? looks great! like to see more, w.i.p. and the finished book :-)

[stahlberg]

Thanks, no release date yet, I thought I might try a kickstarter when it reaches 100 pages, but I guess it's better to say "we'll see how it goes" :)

Whoa.. this is so cool, reminds me of battle angel alita. I love seeing art on mecha and sci fi. Do you do any of those?

[stahlberg]

Thanks! There's 1 robot that appears briefly so far in my comic, but otherwise not a lot of mecha stuff... :)

Really loving your work. It's evocative, sexy without being porn-y, and each image tells such a great story. I'm also impressed how much you can make digital work look like it was done with traditional materials.
