Rex Mundi Volume 1: The Guardian Of The Temple

Written by Arvid Nelson, art by Eric J, colored by Jeromy Cox, cover by Juan Ferreyra.

A quest for the Holy Grail unlike any you've ever seen begins here‹in a world where the American Civil War ended in a stalemate, the Catholic Church controls Europe, and sorcery determines political power!

When a medieval scroll disappears from a Paris church, Doctor Julien Saunière investigates, uncovering a series of horrific ritual murders and an ancient secret society. Julien cannot let these shadowy figures retreat into the darkness, lest they take up their killing once again. His investigation turns into a one-man quest into the bizarre secrets of the Catholic Church.

Rex Mundi #1 V2, page 02
The war begins in Rex Mundi!

Rex Mundi #1 V2

Here I tried something different, I drew the layouts for the page as always, then I scanned it and worked the building and garden using Photoshop with my Wacom, but as you can see on the second picture the result was a very stiff and computer generated image that looked odd and too clean, so I printed the drawing and I started messing with it with pencils and water colors, when I scanned it again, it ended looking a lot better and more organic like.

then I added the guns at the bottom and later I finished the second panel in a regular fashion, but to see the complete page you'll have to buy the book. ;)

Emissary#2 Cover, this issue was supposed to hit stands today, but someone forgot to send it to the printer, nice job someone! :(
now the book will come out like 5 weeks later

NothingFace #1, an old cover I did for a book by Kel Nutall, Creator/writer of NOTHINGFACE

Emissary #5 cover

Finally I added shadows, lighting and texture to create the final piece.

then I added some blacks to the page and painted the flats (just plain colors without the shading).

then I teaked the levels to make the pencils look darker.

ok this is the page I drew yesterday, from Rex Mundi#1 from Dark Horse.
I'm going to show the steps I took to produce this page.

first I scanned the page

Here is the cover I did for

REX MUNDI VOLUME 3: THE LOST KINGS TPB

Written by Arvid Nelson, penciled by Eric Johnson, colored by Jeromy Cox, colored by Jim Di Bartolo, cover by Juan Ferreyra.

In a Paris where magic is real and the Catholic Church never lost its political power, one man's quest to solve a murder may lead him to the Holy Grail itself!

Doctor Julien Saunière continues his investigation into the theft of a mysterious medieval scroll, only dimly aware of the forces tugging him to the doorstep of the powerful Duke of Lorraine. Lorraine wants to provoke a massive, globe-spanning war that will soak the world in blood‹but why? The answer to that question, a deadly confrontation in the ancient catacombs beneath Paris, and a blasphemous revelation about Judas, Christ's betrayer, all await Julien in this volume of the critically acclaimed series Rex Mundi!

176 pages, $16.95, in stores on Sept. 13.

Emissary cover art! issue #3, on this issue emissary starts to surf the web and watch the news to understand what is happening on the world but sometimes too much info is not a good thing.

Ok I'll start showing some art.
here is the cover for Rex Mundi #2 (v2) , I had to draw Moricant on it and it was a real joy.
I first made a color skecth here to see if everyone liked it.
