More comic covers----Updated with new cover on 6_11

[Ben_Olson]

Ok, finally I can post the Undead Evil cover. Check out the link too. It look like this is going to be a cool Comic, I'm pretty exited about it. The guy doing the art inside is called Nenad Gucunja. He's a really good artist.

I already posted one of these but I thought I would just start a thread that I could put all my Asylum Press work in. I'll post some step by step work in progress stuff in here at some point if you guys want too. Hope you like.

Great covers Ben! That zombie face has a great texture, and yes post some process shots please.:rendered:

[j a k e]

I always dig your stuff Ben, and I'm loving these. The first one is my favorite, because I really like the face. I really dig the way you use dark and unsaturated colours alot.

[blanquish]

I officially award you
"most badass digital artist on CA" award
love the angle on the 2nd one, reminds me of Alexsi's compositions

very compelling!
Any larger sizes?

[Mr. Visions]

That first one with the top hat is amazing!!!! KUDOS!

[midknight523]

[Eric Gerhard]

That's fucking awesome! You're a great artist.

[Matthew Campbell]

[Orifice]

Oh man, they are all so good! Dig your style of painting alot.

[Onnophris]

Those covers are great! They would definitely make me want to check out the book. Nice!

[Crawdad Jones]

Great shtuff!

[Rulon Cynron]

You have sick atmosphere, its like you can smell whats happening. Great edge control, it really helps the form and keeps the energy from getting frozen. I would be greatful if you could give my piecea crit. It's under the "deserving... " thread. Is it a dick move to ask for a crit, if so sorry in advance.

[asoir]

awesome job on the first one benny, you rock!

[Mr. Scribbles]

Very nice stuff. That first one is amazing. Post more!:bow:

[Ben_Olson]

[Kan Muftić]

Whoop!
And another one of Ben's eye candies.

[se7en_]

Nice stuff as usual Ben! Now I have to come back to see the 3rd image : )

[vigostar]

You know what Ben.. you aint getting away that easily.. Because you took and image down by default you have to add something else for us to see until the other one goes up... Dont be cheating us now....

[redehlert]

great work!
[puts placeholder post in anticipation of 2-18 to see yet another swank olson piece]

[Ben_Olson]

Lone Wolf- thanks. Hopefully I get some process shots together this week.

j a k e- Yeah I'm happy with that big face

blanquish- You crazy but thanks dude. That's cool of you to say. :)

Mr. Visions- Thank you, you're the man.

midknight523- Thank you

(ope)- Thanks for the feedback on the compostional stuff. This is something I'm trying to work on.

Onnophris- You should check out the books. I have a feeling they'll be badass.

Rulon Cynron- Thanks so much man. No it's not a dick move to ask for a crit. I'll try to get to it.

asoir- Good to here from you. I gotta visit your SB tonight. I was skimming it earlier this week and was really inspired. You the man.

DSillustration- Good news, it's back up now. Thanks for visiting sir.

vigostar- Sorry man. I did look around for something to post in it's place but I think I've posted everything I got.

[ElvisMcVegas]

Sweet shit son.
The voodoo feller at the top looks like the one from the come "The Goon."
I saw that comic cover the other day and the cover made me pick it up but when i looked inside the art was dissapointing.

[Konstruktion]

Wow man, these suits perfect to my newly created folder "Ben Olson".

[kaktuzlime]

OoooooOH! All great, but the first is my fav. He'll get to score with the girl if he gets em out of there, right?^^ The face of the undead guy makes me think of that wierd voodoo guy from some James Bond movie.

[redehlert]

oh yeah! newest cover is great! congrats on a job extremely well done!

[Bomba]

Classy stuff Ben, the more I see of your work... the more I crave.
-J-

[masque]

that's a great Baron Samedi-type, Ben, really evocative of the old EC gore-horror comix. lookin' forward to more of your excellent work.

[Carnifex]

yup,gotta say i like that first one most aswell. the expressions are just priceless,and i'm a sucker for this kinda painterly style -all the details just in the right places,and the rest in generous strokes that don't seem unpleasant either.
top stuff!

[midknight523]

hmm
i'm wondering how someone becomes this good

[David Hudnut]

Nice work all around. I'm digging all of these.

I too would like to see some process shots.

[ICH]

Why not high rating this post? Great work Ben!

[Ben_Olson]

Here's a new cover for http://www.asylumpress.com/

for a tpb called Asylum of Horrors http://www.asylumpress.com/index2.html

I'm not quite done with it yet actually. I have a little clean up to do on the girl figure. Been a while since I posted.

[guterrez]

it`s now the 3rd time that I see your Undead Evil cover but my mouth gets open and wet every time I see it, but this last one is just the best I can remember from you so far...can`t wait to see it finished cause it already looks perfect for me

[teho]

u're back!!!

this cover is amazing, i don’t know because of the sick color scheme or composition, but it’s feels like u’re right there in front of and crapping pants…

[thirdeye]

Lovin' it :) Especially the first two. Your women are very nicely done.

[zweiDee]

crazy monster, sexy cat and a cool fighter, what will we more?! :)

[gunnarsson]

wow, Im loving the new stuff here! (im orifice (from above) btw) your style is a big favourite of mine, and this new cover is no put down, its pretty fantastical! The girl looks awesome, all of it does really... ok, gotta go check your SB. 'ts been a long time since last time.:^^: keep it up!

[Bomba]

Ben!

Always look forward to seeing something new from you. Love the solid forms and style of painting.

For your new cover(which is great btw), the creature's head is difficult to read. At a quick glance, I could not see the shapes clearly. Not sure if this is the proper way to describe it, but it's rather noisy around the forehead/mouth/eyes.

Out of curiousity, you may try to simplify or re-define the shapes. Worth a shot if you have time.
-J-
P.s. Your painted covers really class up those comics!

[Rayph]

Your work is always just so kick ass and inspiring. Ive seen alot of gnarly stuff but the concept work you did for the suffering is definately near the top of that list for most disturbing creations ever drawn.

[AlexC]

my god ben these are brilliant
Love the scissors in the monster.
total badass
lots of respect,
Alex

[Raskolnikov]

Outstanding works. I like details and color palette

[AntiMatty]

cool stuff.

[Alien Ape Star]

Your technique is totally pro! RESPECT:xpld:

[2pm]

amazing stuff, the monster boobs are my favorite part.

[dorian]

wohoo
top notch! really really nice colors, composition, design! you're going in the right direction with this stuff!

[Coinpurse]

kinda shitfaced right now after seeing that last one ;)
excellent execution as usual, keep up the good stuff Ben!

[ikuru]

these are SExY and sick

[MrozekArt]

Sick images - LOVE it! Great stylish covers, best one with fat guy... Congrats and some stars...

[Chris Noeth]

Amazing!

Best,

Chris

[Asiadeep]

Beautiful and haunting stuff Ben, been around and seen some of your other work. I must commend you on your great work and detail in the pictures here.
I especially love the first picture, It is sexy and scary at the same time. Its great to get both of these emotions at once!
