New Strain Covers

In honor of the premier of The Strain tv show on FX this Sunday here are 3 new covers.  The first is for The Strain Vol. 1 hard cover and is a rework of the cover to issue 1 done by the talented Mike Huddleston.  The other two are the covers to issue 1 and 2 of the third series in The Strain triology, The Night Eternal.  I have 6 cover left to paint on what has been a marvelous three year journey.  I hope you enjoy the covers as much as I enjoy painting them.

Always look forward to your latest posts, these are great, I really like your colours and composition on the middle one. How long did they give you on these? What's it been like working with Del Toro? Did you go back and forth with him on these?

Hey Parmjeet, Thanks, I don't really keep track of time anymore. basically as long as it take to get it right, or the AD tells me they need it. GdT is great to work with, and yeah to a certain degree, he is involved in every step.
