Todd Lockwood is a good friend but even better he is an amazing painter!
Todd has been responsible for some of the most beautiful artwork gracing some of the best New York Times bestselling books out there, and that is not my bias for the guy talking/typing, I promise. He has a growing base of Lockwood fans all his own, and for that reason he’s been praised for his work as Guest of Honor Artist at several conventions the last two years.
The great thing about Todd: Like many of the best artists out there, he doesn’t know how good he really is!
The publisher Wizards of the Coast does know how good Todd is, however, and uses his talents often, especially for their immensely popular RA Salvatore Drizzt covers. Todd has done at least a dozen by now—if not more&mash;and with every new one he takes his work to that next level.
Well, he’s sharing the process he goes through to paint a cover, from start to finish!
The Pirate King by RA Salvatore was released in October 2008 but the preparation and finished painting for that cover took place many months before. Each Part below has Todd explaining the steps and process he went through for the cover to RA Salvatore’s The Pirate King:
Enjoy!
