The back cover I made for Game of Thrones have been published, to my great pleasure, on the awesome 2D Artist Magazine.
I can’t deny I feel a bit out of place amongst those amazing artists, yet there I am!

For those who aren’t familiar with it, 2D Artist Magazine is (duh) about 2D digital painting and Concept Art.
It’s not the only magazine around with Photoshop tutorials or general drawing techniques, of course. It is, however, the most professional looking one at the moment. It manages, in fact, to remain appealing to professionals without being too difficult for uninitiated. Which is a great quality to sport, if you consider that most of their competitors often publish tutorials about basic techniques you could easily find in 5 minutes of YouTube browsing.

Maybe it’s clearer if I just paste what they write about themselves:

2DArtist is the magazine for CG artists around the globe, whether you already work in 2D or are just getting started. Each issue is full of techniques, tutorials, interviews, articles, project overviews and galleries – providing the perfect platform from which to improve your 2D skills, learn from the professionals and get inspiration for your next project.

Anyway, this is the section the illustration had been published into.

And this is the issue, you can even browse the preview and have a look at what the other kick-ass people did.

I’m expecting any time someone will tell me they made a mistake, good thing I already saved it on my hard drive.

For the moment, thanks to Matt, Jess and the rest of the 2D Artist Magazine staff for including my in this issue.
