The devils escape from Hell~

In 2001 I did this drawing representing the devil's escaping from Hell to be used as end papers for the first collection of "Danse Macabre", with the printed artwork reversed and the linework toned grey. For the new Marquis: Inferno collection, I wanted to use as much of the existing art as possible and reused it for the title page spread.

I've been a fan of Nathan Fox for awhile, his art is full of life and it was a thrill to see his energetic brushwork on this drawing of a sure footed Marquis dealing with some rooftop devils!

Le Marquis and the process~

When I got back in contact with Javier Montes who colored the cover for the French volume of The Marquis and the Midwife~ he also sent me a few files I had lost that showed some of the process to the finished cover.

Top is the pencilled version of the cover that I sent to Humanoides before I went to inks. But before I sent in any coloring notes, Javier sent along the mockup (center) for a color scheme he had in mind. This was sharp, but too similar in tone to the Intermezzo cover. After getting the notes I sent he did the quick color test (bottom), which was closer to the final "white" cover but the tones needed to be colder for the Marquis' winter world and with the next pass he nailed the final cover!
