This illustration combines digital drawing and a mix of digital and watercolor painting for the background. I wanted to oppose the warm colors of the character (his skin, his hair) with a cold palette of blues in the background, symbolizing the wild temper of Norse warriors against the weather of those regions.
Brian Wood is a great writer, and that, combined with the fact that I love history books/comics, made me want to read NORTHLANDERS since the moment I knew this comic existed. I also love the idea that every story-arc is a different tale with different characters, moving from a time and place to another.
