EDIT: You're notified again because I uploaded this some time ago and had to put it into storage after a short time because the book hadn't been published yet. Now it's published so.. back to the main gallery again

This is a digital book cover I did for Ediciones Babylon [link] I'll add the link to the book once I know how this works.
Yes, something a bit different to what I'm used to do. I really didn't like having the characters from behind but they wanted me to do it like this.. so :/ Not really satisfied..
Fully painted from scratch in Photoshop CS4 Extended. I just added some textures for the marble feeling on the background (cgtextures.com) and the moon is from sxc.hu.
Thanks to Marcus J. Ranum for letting me use his stock as reference for the characters. Characters are fully painted too.
Took about 40 hours and size was about 9000x6000px to be printed at 90x60cm.. huge canvas!
very cool painting. 2112 is a spectacular song on a great album. I find it interesting that a book inspired Rush to create the song which apparently is inspiring another book.
This is great, really interesting to see how you've used the reference images too and changed them. The lighting and overall tone of the painting is brilliant, nice one
