Fables 2

Prelim:  8.5" x 11", graphite on SVA scrap paper
Final Painting:  18" x 24", oil paint and ballpoint pen on MDF board

It is nice to finally see the full size and detail of this early Fables cover painting!  Unfortunately, large portions of the original image were cropped for publication, and most of the beautiful fabric at the top of the painting was then covered with the title logo!  The end result is a cover that feels quite cramped when compared to the original painting.
