Notti and Nyce Halloween

Here's the finished pencils for a Halloween themed cover that I recently drew for Marat Mychaels' comic book "Notti & Nyce". Some of my editors have been allowing me to run further with content concepts--which is very much appreciated, fun and liberating--however, as the artist responsible for the content within these images I'm often finding myself having to harbor back on how far exactly I want to go. There is integral limitations in place with these publishers that prevent certain things from slipping through, but as many of you may know, we artists like to both experiment with our craft and occasionally push on boundaries. Personally I do enjoy working within those limitations. There's certainly something be had with keeping in frame the whole "what happens next?" context of an image such as this.

Additionally, I'd like to apologize for not being even remotely close to as active as I use to be here on DA. Posting regularly and responding to comments or messages sadly isn't as easy for me as it once was. There was a time where I was so highly active within this community. I miss those days, and think of them often. A simpler time indeed. For that I apologize and I'd like to sincerely to thank EVERYONE here on DA for your continued support. I value each and every one of you!

With that said, I'd like to extend and invite to anyone who is interested in following me on other social media platforms where it is more convenient for me to frequent. I'm going to put  effort toward posting on DA more regularly, and also give the option to anyone who'd like to follow elsewhere:
