This is a book cover I did for sci-fi author Stuart Clark. I had fun making this painting, as the clients monster design was really interesting. More info on the publishers site: [link]
Reference used for the guy. Painted during 5 evenings in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Intuos tablet.
Saw your step by step on this. I find it cool that you lay down shading in gray scale before you colour it. Love the detail on all your work - really stunning. I'm a beginning painter and am realizing that the amount of detail an artist puts into thier work, the greater the quality. Thank you for being an inspiration!
