From a JG Jones FB page:
"Then I found THIS thing. An unused cover for Dark Dominion, the first book I drew for Jim Shooter's Defiant Comics."

I wonder what time frame is was drawn or for what issue it was intended to be used.

Remember this old link with the unpublished J.G Jones Dark Dominion cover art:

I found a part of the image was printed on the back of one of JG Jones's Sketchbooks:

The images in this thread are now visible again. I've purged photobucket links. That is not the sketchbook I own. I have one by him.

His image is probably more accurate based on the original colors, but keep in mind that my scan was done on the comic 10 years after it was published. It could have faded. I was also a lot less knowledgeable about scanning. Colors can be tweaked and adjusted after scanning. Defiant could have tweaked them down for the comic itself. I might have tweaked them down because the bright red looked unnatural to me. I'd really have to be holding the comic itself to know if I did good job or not. Doc Martin watercolors are notorious for fading in the light. I believe Joe does own the original watercolors for #'s 1-3. He'll have to keep them in the dark as I do mine.
