Above is my first variant cover for the upcoming Mass Effect: Evolution series by Mac Walters and John Jackson Miller, based on the popular video game. The four-issue arc will detail the enigmatic 'Illusive Man's' as yet unknown past. I'm doing variants for all four issues, so stay tuned.

Okay, I'm getting pretty pissed off. I use SAI and PS CS5, and no matter how hard I try, I can never get the lines you have here, they're always jagged. I use a Tablet, yet it still never comes out as good as yours. Can you please help a little?

Hi Tawverni,

Actually, the initial drawing was done with real media -- pen, brush & ink, rather than drawn digitally. It can certainly be difficult drawing in the computer. When I had done it in the past, I remember preferring the scratchboard tool in Painter. Makes for smooth nuanced linework.

Wow, thanks man. I don't usually use traditional methods (due to lack of a scanner) but I'll certainly try something out.

That sun in the background looks like it was a real pain to do, Heheh.

No Problem. Yeah, you should try it out! Experiment!

--Actually, the sun was really fun to do. It's all dry brush work.

Thanks!

Actually, issues 1 through 3 of this series are out on comic stands now.

Yeah but since the local bookstore isn't reliable in stocking it every month, I tend to wait for the 'full versions' to be put out. >_>

Good call.
