Congrats and both names are awesome, even thought I have a preference for one...

Sweet! Nice perspective, very cool! Thank you very much!

What program are you using for this?

If it's PS, I'd love to know what brush settings you're using.

I was given this book from my employer, they sometimes get books from publishers and I guess no one wanted it, I wasn't sure if it was any good, but after going through it, I found lots of useful info:

Digital Character Design and Painting Photoshop CS edition by Don Seegmiller

I am using three brushes, Airbrush Pen Opacity, ( it's a default Photoshop brush) with Hardness set to 50%. I think I have the flow set to 25%, I use this to sketch and put in details. I also use just airbrush soft round with opacity slider around 20-40%, and I think just normal round to lay in flats.

That book is really cool, it shows you how to create a blending brush with the healing brush which is actually so much better than the smudge tool! Oh I haven't done any blending on this piece, I just mentioned the blending technique from the book cause it's really neat!

All Photoshop and tablet, wacom 9x12.

Looking good so far... how's the overall look of it?

It's coming along

congrats man! Nice pic too!

a little more, well a lot of tweaking....

Another close up

There is no signing up, due to my old age I seemed to have forgotten what I was talking about, so I'm just gonna go sit in the rocking chair and watch Matlock...Maaaatttttlooooocccckkkkk!

I was thinking some sort of battle royale insanity...dammit you made me reveal my idea! Well that was one idea, another could be normal sized group pic, I haven't decided yet, and the fact I'm even entertaining the idea is probably due to the fact that I am starting to forget how long it took to get the last one done! Ah the benefits of being forgetful....

Your jedi mind trick won't work on me! hmmm catgirls....

I didn't want to make the print available until I got mine to see the quality, I got the matte version and the paper is nice and thick! Might order up one for my wall at work.

I am now really excited to do more art and get them printed out big!!! And no, not starting another group pic yet, once I get another idea, I'll let you know!

Just an update, I just got the print from Imagekind, 32"x19" and it's pretty awesome, I'm very happy with it! I'll put up some closeups of the poster soon but you can check out a pic over at the website

I still need to get the key done, but now that I've spent some time away from it, that should be a lot easier to do now!

yay!!! Happy Birthday!!!!

So a more painterly style it will be, might take a little longer than my usual turn around time, but it should be worth it!

While nothing is explicitly shown, this piece might be considered NSFW

Well this piece started out as a Sketch a Day sketch and is now a commission...yay

Tightened up the sketch a bit: tighter sketch

fixed it up a bit, arm a little too long here, and other stuff, dropped some tone on it: More refinements

Now I usually go and ink, digitally, but I thought I would play around, got some feedback about her face so I tweaked it a bit this morning.



Just messing around with a different style

Depending on feedback, I will either continue with this style or go back to a more traditional inked and colored look.

I I've also managed to squeeze in Alex's character, simply because he's done so much for us lately.
