13 Days of Pan-demonium: Werewolf Café

Posted on by

And so we reach the end of “The 13 Days of Pan-demonium,” our artistic celebration of the release of BLOOD FEUD: THE SAGA OF PANDORA ZWIEBACK, Book 1 (on sale now!).

Our final artist is: CIARAN LUCAS!

Now that’s what I call a magnificent digital painting! “Werewolf Café” shows Pan discovering that not even her favorite coffee house is a safe haven from the horrors that constantly haunt her. I mean, a werewolf—drinking tea! Tea! In a coffee house! How horrific is that?

Here’s a true tale of artistic mistaken identity: I discovered Ciaran’s work through DeviantArt, where he’d posted a cartoony Doctor Who drawing in his gallery. I liked the illustration so much I added to my own page’s Favourites, then asked him if he’d like to be part of the 13 Days because I enjoyed his art so much.

Unfortunately, it turned out he didn’t draw that Doctor Who piece—he only colored it! (Oops.) Embarrassed, I went back through his gallery to check out his own work and saw that he was an amazing digital painter—so I invited him again! He said yes (thankfully), and the fantastic results are here for all to enjoy.

These days, Ciaran is busy working as a colorist for such projects as Bluewater Production’s Vincent Price Presents, and Image Comics’ upcoming MacGyver miniseries (yup, based on the old Richard Dean Anderson TV show). Click Ciaran’s name up top to stop by his DeviantArt page and see his other work. You can thank me later.

So, what do you think? Has the art we’ve showcased during the “13 Days” promotion been as jaw-droppingly amazing as I think it is? Lemme know, you Pan-atics. (No, the 13 Days may be over, but the awful puns will never stop!)
