The Hulk is King!

I found a sketch I did at the Hero's convention last year that I never finished. I did it as a warm up to a huge poster size painting I did for the art auction they do every year to raise money for the con. I fixed it up and rendered it out.

The Elf Prayer

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.

More Sketchbook.

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.
