Here's a few prelims and pages from the up-coming Red Sonja series I'm currently drawing. I cannot say when it's gonna be released because it's taking a lot of time to pencil and ink. I guess the first issue will be sollicited when I feel confident about finishing the alst issue on time.

So here's a few doodles and random pages and panels for those of you asking to see some of this stuff for ages

Where is the petition for a black & white edition ?

[Paul Renaud]

I'd love that, but I'm not the one to make that decision.
You should email Dynamite and let them know.

Here's my answer to the step by step requests I get on Deviant Art.
I chose a Red Sonja cover because I'm doing a bunch of covers for the series right now.




So this is the pencil art, the original. Nothing too fancy. Just a regular Sonja fight. I just love the hero vs too many opponents theme, and use it once in a while. It's the third time I do this on Red Sonja covers.


The inking here is digital, that is pencil lines being cleaned up and darkened.


Now this is where the real work is. I like to paint (digitally) my covers in shades of grey. It helps me focus on the composition and light without getting bothered by color choices. At this point I know what the colors will be, but this is not the priority.
I also redefine the composition, and change a few things to make the picture more easy to read : the warrior behind sonja is flipped to the right of the cover...same goes to the mountain background.


From then on I do very little painting. Just a little bit brush work here and there, I use the gray work transform it into the color I want and add the special fx (glowing fx, snow, blood).
As I said earlier, this is the third time I do a ONE VS MANY cover for Sonja, so I needed to go to another direction with the coloring.
That's why the snow battle option (that I had experimented earlier on an Elektra piece).
