Locke & Key is a comic I was late to the game with but have been trumpeting as one of my favorite books ever since I discovered it. The folks over at
IDW asked me to do artwork for their special limited editions of Head Games (the 2nd collection in the series). I was given 3 blank cover plates and 10 empty-head Bodies to fill with my take on imagery from the series (and not just limited to Head Games). An original (along with originals by Jim Mafood, Langdon Foss, Alan Robinson, & Tonya Harris) will be inserted in each book (Bodie Heads in the "Black Label books, Covers in the Black Label ones).
Below these final art images are sketches and in-progress shots as I worked on the project...
Black Label:
Beyond the Black Door
Keys
Tears & Fears
Toys
Undertree Key & Squirrel
Benjamin Locke
Open the Moon
Dodge & Ellie
The Crown of Black Currants
Animal Key
The Tempest
Open Mind
Keyhouse
Process:
It was a pleasure and honor to get to do these, and I hope I get to play in and around Keyhouse again someday.
Great work! I love the first one and especially the squirrel one!
