Description

I scanned the "sky" for Skyhooks, large, twenty-foot plus wingspan, bird-like demons with a sharp hook hanging down they used to snag souls and Lifers alike. It's what they ate. I spotted a few in the far distance. No problem. I broke cover and ran for the dense vegetation of the Dead Forest. I didn't make it. -From "Hellcop" by David Burton Continuing work on the eventual cover for the next edition of Hellcop. I really didn't like the vision of the last Skyhooks, they just seemed too cartoonish to me. So I emailed the author and asked him for his thoughts (what a concept). These are more hawklike than the last image, and I scaled back the hook and added a few more details. Models rendered in Zbrush, background and compositing in Photoshop. As always, suggestions are welcome.
