ElfSong 3 Colored Cover

Mat — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:00:00 +0000

Today I’ve got a color mock-up for the cover to ElfSong #3. I’m still tweaking the cover a little here and there, but it’s in pretty close to final shape. I’d love to hear what everyone thinks of the latest cover!

Free Original Art by Mat Nastos!

Mat — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:16:44 +0000

Yes, you read that title correctly. I am giving away a piece of original 9×12 elf artwork to one lucky fan this month. All you have to do for a shot at winning the art is to become a fan of the ElfSong page over on FaceBook. Once the page reaches 100 fans, I’ll pick someone at random to send the art to.

So, what are you waiting for? Everyone loves free stuff! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-Angeles-CA/ElfSong-by-Mat-Nastos/163567349356

ElfSong 2 Colored Cover

Mat — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:00:00 +0000

The colored cover to ElfSong #2. Linework by me (Mat Nastos) and colors by the incredibly talented Jerelyn Parker. Jerelyn runs the very cool ElfQuest fansite, ElfQuestFanArt.com and is an amazing artist in her own right. I was lucky enough to met Jerelyn on the EQ Fan Art boards and she graciously agreed to bring her skills over to work on the cover to ElfSong #2 for me.

ElfSong 3 Cover Art

Mat — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:00:00 +0000

Here for your viewing pleasure is the black and white linework for the cover to ElfSong #3, fresh off my drawing table. This one was a lot of fun to draw. For me, this was a great opportunity to get a fusion of the “Elf” style and the more action oriented, illustrative style of the old Savage Sword of Conan magazines. I just wish I was able to channel the amazing pen and brush work of Alfredo Alcala. Hopefully that’s something I’ll be able to work up to soon!

ElfSong 2010 Sketchbook Available!

Mat — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:16:00 +0000

I am most excited to announce that my brand new, 2010 ElfSong Sketchbook is now available for purchase here on ElfSong.com. The book is magazine-sized and contains over 100 pieces of artwork by me (Mat Nastos), spanning nearly 20 years of my fantasy art career. There is also a rather large section featuring work from my new comic, ElfSong.

Here is the cover image!

You can order it here in the ElfSong store — the link for which can be found at the top of every page on this site. I’ll also have copies available at my Frank & Son Booth (#807) in the City of Industry, CA, aaaand at any and all of my upcoming convention appearances. I’ll be posting a new list of those here on the site in the next couple of months.

That’s it from Elf HQ. Now I have to get back to the drawing board to get the first issue of ElfSong wrapped up and sent out to the printer!

Tyldak Poster

Mat — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:00:00 +0000

This was an image from when I started to work at Warp Graphics on ElfQuest: Blood of Ten Chiefs. Barry Blair encouraged me to do a couple of potential poster images and this shot of Tyldak flying high was one of them. Barry really encouraged me in those early days of my elf-drawing career.

FemElves: A New Sexy Elf Portfolio – Shade in the Sun

Mat — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:00:00 +0000

As part of my warm-up to the release of the first issue of ElfSong to the world later this year, I’ve started working on a portfolio of images featuring the sexy and sultry ladies of ElfSong. I’m calling it “FemElves: The Ladies of ElfSong.” Here you’ll find a teaser sketch of the first piece. I call it “Shade in the Sun.”

I hope you like it!

Elfsong #2 Cover

Mat — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Hot off my drawing table, the black and white cover art to ElfSong issue #2, by Mat Nastos (that’s me!). I know what everyone is thinking, “But, where is the cover to ElfSong #1??” Well…I haven’t finished it yet. That’s what I’m working on this week after I finish a couple of commission pieces.

Stay tuned for more!
