Here is The Flash. Along with the finished color and line art process pictures, I have posted a bunch of the doodles I suffered through in trying to figure out an interesting shot of a guy running (and again, without any specific story elements, as these are "inventory" covers).
After I sent in some color roughs I had worked up from a couple of my favorite doodles (which I would have posted but seem to have discarded), my esteemed editor, Mark Chiarello, decided that he favored one with a back-lit image of Flash running right at us (based on the doodle in the lower right-hand corner). I then reworked it into the blue pencil sketch. That was further refined by drawing in black pencil over my blue layout, and finally, that same line art was cleaned-up in Photoshop. I also used Painter for about 3 minutes to brush in some flesh tones on his face.
Wonder Woman is up next.

Nice. I love the third sketch you did the most. I think your best when you push that perspective limit you do so well. Keep up the great work man.
Whoa! I enjoy seeing the artistic process from start to finish. Shows a great insight into how you approach your covers.
Although the lines are nice, my favorite part of this is the colors and your use of texture in the final piece!
Can't wait to see the Wonder Woman cover, showcasing: Prelim > Sketch > Pencil > Color.

PS Want me to post this up on the site?
PPS This looks fricken sweet!
Ey tio no se si entiendes el español pero eres un crac, el color que pones es perfecto y el dibujo se sale.
another nice one skottie
wow, that's awesome, love your flash.
beautiful indeed :)
Beautiful work, as usual.
I've got to say, though- I disagree with your editor. I think either of those thumbnails with the Flash skidding to a stop would've been more interesting. I don't know if I've ever seen the character doing that before- it looks really cool.
I absolutely love the Wonder Woman, but i'm not so hot on this Flash pose. I think covering up his chest logo with the forearm kills what otherwise may have been a very iconic image.
Cool cover!
Just curious, what was the Flash's eye colour supposed to be?
This is really hinting at Wally (blueish or greenish eyes and the waist design), o I'm guessing green, but Bart is the current Flash and he has amber eyes.
Gorgeous works, Josh. Really. Any plan for some sequential art in the next future?
