the art of Will Terrell

I went to Dallas Comic Con a few weeks ago with my wife to see some friends and talk with artists I know in the industry.  Truth be told, I was really just getting out of town.  Deadlines have been tight the last few months and it seems like I’ve been working non-stop.  Occasionally that makes me sluggish and I need a break just to recharge.  I’ve never been to DCC before, but it was packed!  I guess without Wizard World Texas in the Dallas area anymore, people are looking for something to fill that gap.  I’ve heard recently they’re going to be moving to a larger location, so hopefully that works out, and I’ll be exhibiting there sometime down the road.

While there, I wanted to do some fanart for Josh Howard, who does the comic Dead @ 17.  Josh was a guest at our convention here in Lubbock last November, and it was great getting to pick his brain about his process and the industry itself (we don’t get a lot of chance for that out in West Texas).   Anyways, the sketch was fun, I wish I’d had time to paint it, but I only had a couple of hours to spare before the trip.

I was asked a while back to do some sketch cards for the new Dead@17 card set.  This is my first time doing sketch cards, so it was fun and interesting.  I’d like to do some more down the road.

Most of the cards I did were done like these with watercolor, pen and ink, white out and a little airbrush.
