Black Widow Graphic Novel Cover

Here it is, folks! I'm not sure when I'll be posting pages, I have to finish Anima Complex, and I want to wait until I see Thor 2 to make sure that it doesn't destroy my plot idea. Also, I have no idea how often I will post pages, because honestly this is the first graphic novel I will ever do more than a couple pages for. We'll see - it will be a fun experiment!!

If you want to stay more up-to-date on the project as it progresses, you can follow me on tumblr at TheHappyMediumsTeapot. I post all kinds of goodies up there--it's my main place to do BlackFrosty stuff.

Anyway, hope you like! I had a lot of fun with it. My goals were to do it quickly, use more texture brushes, and never ever use the blur/blend tool. I mostly succeeded--it took a little longer than I wanted, but not much. I think it's a big step forward in my ability level.

... I'm thinking of doing a companion piece, like an alternate cover, with Loki that says "Not everything is black & white... some of it is GREEN." What do you think?
