Rush Strife 1975

A Sepia toned black and white photograph was, if I remember rightly, the first hand colouring sleeve I did for Storm. There actually was not an awful lot of colour added but for the flames and the clouds and the sword. Photo Dye was used and more cloud layers were airbrushed above the horizon and beneath the dark clouds. Some pieces of torn Cartridge paper were used as loose masks to give the arbitrary shapes necessary to spray the clouds.
