Woo-doggy, this one was a beast to put together! needed a poster of his up and coming comic book series Son of the Thunder God to hang in shops and he came to yours truly to get something cool. Furthermore he gave me total artistic license to do as I saw fit. Outside of having certain characters and a vertical format I got to pick and choose everything that went into this image! You guys know I do my best work when given this kind of freedom, and once again that proved to be true.

The top three characters are our heroes, led by the sword slingin’ Raitaro Raijin. That flowing cloak gives him a whole Batman vide here and I must say he wears it well. He has so much intensity in his face. It simply riles me up just looking at the guy. You can feel his passion. Rai is flanked by the sharpshooter Youko Amaterasu and the energy blade wielding Sora Fūjin. I was drooling over the opportunity to draw Youko. She has so much detail to her design and that just fits perfectly with this high resolution image. Zoom in nice in close to see how I shined her scales, and created those luscious locks of hair. Sora, or maybe I should call him Mr. Suave with that whole vest ensemble, has just as much going on with those nasty beam claws and metal wings off his back.

The Woman at the bottom of the image is Izanami, Goddess of the Dead. I don’t get the opportunity to draw “real looking” humans as much as you would think, so I welcome the challenge she presented. I got to play with all kinds of little details when drawing her and it was very rewarding in the end. Here is a cool little trick I did that is mostly invisible unless I point it out. If you look really close at her kimono, you can see a faint floral pattern within it. Now that is some Next Lvl detail right there! 

I am very happy with how this one turned out. That is a downright nasty piece of artwork right there!

Thanks a bunch to DragonBlitzStudios for coming to me to get this done. I know you have a stable of professional artists working on your comic and that makes it all the more meaningful that you chose me to produce this promotional piece. It is also a cool feeling to know that some of my work will be hanging in stores. Make sure you take a picture with one after you hang it up. ^^
