Editor’s letter
to an art invasion!
Eagle-eyed readers will notice that I’m not
Claire Howlett. Your regular editor has
taken on her most challenging mission to
date… motherhood. I’m sure you’ll all join
me in congratulating her on the new
arrival! While Claire recharges her
batteries, ImagineFX remains as
committed as ever to championing the
fantasy art you love, both old and new.
This issue we invoke the era of Wally Wood and Norman Saunders
in a celebration of the Golden Age of pulp art. Turn to page 48 to read
our feature on the era’s inspirational artists, who worked for the love
of their art and the recognition from their peers. I think there’s
something we can all learn from these pioneers of fantasy illustration;
love the art you make and have pride in your achievements.
Our workshops this issue offer an array of insights. Weta’s Christian
Pearce demonstrates how to grime-up your illustrations on page 76,
while Daniela Uhlig shows how keeping brushes simple can reap
rewards in her pin-up workshop on page 94, and Thom Tenery uses
compositional rules to define an alien world on page 98. Finally,
ex-Disney artist Jack Bosson recalls his life in the jazz bars of 1950s
New York on page 82, to demonstrate how to draw a complex scene
with multiple figures.
I should also tell you that our new and improved digital editions are
on sale now (complete with streaming video for iPad users). Skip over
to page 31 to catch the latest deals.

Cover artist
In progress
Will grapples with pulp
art for our latest cover
We set Will the challenge of creating a
cover in the pulp art style with a modern
twist. Delving into his love of the genre,
Will hit on the idea of a literal ‘monstrous
boss’ getting fresh with his secretary.
Tentacles, a strong light source and a
‘dame’ in distress, Will is on the right track…
Cover artist
For purposes of the cover we love the
simplicity of the image and the strong light
source that adds drama. To update the
pulp premise we ensure our secretary isn’t
a victim – she’s now an Ellen Ripley-inspired
survivor. More tweaks, and Will creates a
new crop to fit the ImagineFX cover layout.
An accomplished illustrator with an infectious sense of fun, Brazilian
Will Murai proved the perfect foil for our pulp art fantasies this issue

Will Murai
COUNTRY:
Brazil
SOFTWARE:
Photoshop
WEB:
www.willmurai.com
São Paulo based Willian Hideki
Murai never imagined he’d sketch
out a career as a leading digital
artist. As a child he loved to draw;
now the adult Will draws for Marvel,
DC Comics and led an art team at
Ubisoft. An adaptable artist with
a keen eye for character, Will
sharpened his pencils to turn in a
fantastic pulp-inspired cover.
We suggest that the tentacles have caught
various office paraphernalia in their slime
trail. Will adds his worn paper textures,
boosts the contrast and embellishes the
shadows, to create the perfect pulp
homage. See his workshop on page 72.
