Been kinda busy but thought I would put up my colors for Trinity#19-21 drawn Carlos Pacheco, inked Jesus Merino and colors by me.
The challenge with any of these Trip-tics is maintaining a cohesion but giving each cover enough gusto to stand alone. I like to color them all put together but I often have to do the first in the series and then come back and do the rest because of solicitations.
Knowing little about the story other then where I am on the interior back-up story (at the time around#12) I just went with what was there.
Statues that have been neglected in a broken down memorial/museum. I love the look of bronze cast but going with that color sceme would have been harder to pull off. Luckly I had been to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University for some fun and they had tones of Marble blocks, floors, walls and about everything else.
So I took a bunch of pics... take a look at the statue and see if you can see how I incoperated the marble texture into the art.
Last.. but not least was the light effect.
No I did not use the Photoshop Lens Flare effect (NEVER do that).... but I did use it to help me make my own (like a guide). I wanted the light to work across all three issues separately but as one image as well. It's not as constant and I like to do but I think it pulls off a somewhat stoic effect.
What do you think?
Questions?

Alan,
Great job! Glad you stayed with the marble look to match the actual statues. Have you seen them?
the actual statues? actually no I didn't know they existed... but yeah the Marble made more sense due to the ruble anyway.
