SIX SIDEKICKS cover (Patreon)

I've done a variant cover for issue 4 (September '21) of Image/Skybound's SIX SIDEKICKS (by Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer). The covers were meant to be in the style of different print magazines, so I did mine as a pastiche of my favourite New Yorker cover artist, Bob Staake. 

I drew a loose sketch first then painstakingly rendered it in Adobe Illustrator. Fortunately, the skills I learned drawing comics using that program for a few years are largely intact. Half the tools seemed to have moved or changed their names, but there are a lot of new toys to play with.

I think the unnecessarily Tom Of Finland cowboy bottom will be under the comic's logo so enjoy it unadulterated in this special viewing area.

Six Sidekicks is a really good read. Do check it out if you can.
