Description
I started working on a new series of illustrations for new pulp publisher Airship 27 - in this case, a western entitled Comanche Blood, by R. A. Jones - the continuing story of bounty hunter Jason Mankiller.In this third illustration: Jason and the surveyor, Lee Buris sit at his campfire eating beans, bacon and biscuits from pans…getting to know each other around the fire.

I admire how you created that glowing, burning effect using ink so effectively. Man, that takes confidence.

It was tricky, I don't often do such high contrast single light source pieces... I'm pretty pleased how it turned out. I wanted kind of a grainy look on all the other surfaces.
For the fire itself, I just tried to keep the lines as light as possible... I was going to try only using negative space for the flames, but wasn't quite confident enough for that. Next time!

I couldn't but help think of that famous scene around the campfire from Blazing Saddles. Love the detail on the clothing.

Hahaha! Yeah, that campground is going to be a heckuva lot more flammable in a little while. Thanks! On this one, I made up all the clothing details myself.
