I went back and did some more work on this making my brushstrokes more pronounced and fixing some anatomy error mainly around the neck area.

Well, after hours of hard work this bad boy is finally finished. I spent a great deal of time trying to make this as polished a piece as possible but without that slick digital feel. I’m really, really happy with how the face came out. I’ve also put together a little how I did it piece. For those interested I did this completely in photoshop except for the initial sketch which is a scanned pencil drawing. Most of the painting is just the standard hard round brush with the opacity set to pressure. I did use a few other texture brushes in select spots. Now, it’s on to my next project.

Sorry to have been away so long but last week I was on vacation and boy did I need it. Anyway, I’m getting back up to speed. Here’s a little peek inside my sketchbook this week. I’ve also turned the Elf Sketch below into a digital painting and it’s almost done. More on that later.

Not sure where this came from but it was fun.

Here are the last few images from Mark Charke’s Chronomancer RPG. I hope you like em.

I missed the update yesterday so you get two today. More of the RPG work I’ve been doing lately. A friend asked me the other day how I’ve been able to do so much work lately and I’ve got an easy answer. I’ve been getting paid. Yes, all the rumors you’ve heard about money being a good motivator are true.
