Trespassers: Revised



Hey everyone! I've just uploaded my updated version of "Trespassers". I got some very good advice and critiques from some people I really admire that have been helping me out for over a year now. Anyways, with their critiques I decided to do a little moving around of things (mainly the dragon) and some paint-overs (the elf's face so that the lighting would be more accurate and the dragon, fixing some tangents). Anyways, I think it actually looks a lot better!


Take care and have a very Merry Christmas!

Trespassers: Painting Process

So I thought I'd put together something that shows my buildup of my latest picture "Trespassers". Hope this helps someone out there on some level. Enjoy!

Trespassers




So here's a piece that I've been working on and off on for the past two weeks or so when I've had time. I would say that it's probably my most ambitious painting thus far; this is due mainly to the fact that I wanted to have several characters in the painting along with a more defined background. Hence what you see here :)

Anyways this took about 35 1/2 hours to complete, something I'm happy about as that means that I am speeding up on my paintings (believe it or not ;)). Created in Photoshop CS4. Hope you enjoy!
