Steampunk Elf

Hey Kiddies!

So it's been quite some time since I've posted anything. I've been busy at work learning a whole lot and seeing how far I have to still go. Luckily I've got some great people to learn from!

This is a piece based off of a sketch that I had to do to get my job. As you can see the topic was super cool, a steampunk elf! So I did some silhouette studies and was told which one to choose from there and then went to a simple sketch line drawing. Anyways it was super fun to do and luckily I got the job! Still, I always wanted to paint it up so here it is!

This took three months to do because I'd get busy and would work on other stuff but finally it's finished! Total time was just shy of 16 hours. Painted in Photoshop CS4 with my Wacom Intous A4 Tablet.
