My final contribution to BLFC is the conbook cover. I had a lot of fun with this one. I really want to paint more often but I'm really slow at it and I don't have a lot of time for it.
Anyway, I was looking at a lot of Saturday Evening Post covers from way back when for inspiration/approach for this, particularly a lot of Leyendecker and Rockwell covers. I really like those two because they had a knack for storytelling in a single image (not to mention just being awesome in their technique). I tried to go for that approach, and since BLFC is in a casino hotel, well, that's why they're at a card table. :P Oh, I also used a limited palette again like in my poster for BLFC: browns, oranges, whites, and just a touch of violet. It's very interesting to work with only a few colors, something I haven't really explored before, so gonna try to do it more often and see where it takes me!
If interested, I had some process work over on my Tumblr for this.
