Lauren Weinstein is the artist behind PictureBox’s latest release, The Goddess of War, the first book in a series chronicling the life and times Valkyrie, the eponymous heroine. The book is a masterpiece, combining etchings and illustrations to achieve its brilliant effect. Lauren invited us into her studio to show us what it takes to create an epic. In the images below, Lauren shows off the contents of her studio: models, influences, original drawings and etchings, as well as a couple of works in progress.
Homegrown blueberries!
In the studio.
Cochise, chief of the Chokonen Apaches, and lover of the Goddess of War.
Some source material and inspirations for the look and feel of Goddess.
Lauren has the full stack of original pages, each of which is graced with pencil notes and collaged elements.
Lauren shows how the proper addition of color can change the emotional intensity of a panel.
On occasion Lauren will make text edits on a separate sheet, and insert them during the production phase.
Etchings…
and original plates.
Lauren said that after she made this painting in college she knew cartooning was calling out to her!
