Faun Sketch in Painter

This is the first post in a series chronicling the evolution of a painting from initial sketch to final image.

So what this is is the initial sketch I did back in the second half of 2005. I roughed it out in Painter using the chalk tool. I've recently decided to flesh it out into a finished painting, painting it both in Photoshop and Painter. Since I'm much more familiar with Photoshop and it's brush engine is faster, I'll probably be painting it mostly with that software, while occasionally using Painter.

Anyway, the next post will be the character in the initial stages of the painting process.

Creature Sketch in Green

I painted this in Photoshop today from a 2003 pencil sketch. I've meant for some time to go back to that sketch and do something more with it. I may at some point paint a fully fleshed out portrait of this guy. I think it would make an interesting piece.

Sea Creature

I had forgotten about this one. Painted in Photoshop. Once I rediscovered it and tweaked the colors, I was suprised at how much better it worked. It was way too green and murky at first.

A Creature Sketch

From a few years back, but I still like it. I'll try to sketch something brand new for the next sketch post. Promise!

RPG Interior Art

This is a piece I painted during the summer for West End Games. Fun piece, painted really fast on a tight turnaround.

I've restructured the print store on my site and have some new prints for sale. These new open edition prints are $15. Print size is 8.5 x 11.

One of these is the unicorn piece I posted a while back. Here's a preview:

Goblin Henchman

This is one of my first digital pieces, and one that I frankly had forgotten about. I stumbled across it while searching for other art files, and thought I would post it. Sorry for the small image, but this is the only version of the painting that I can find. Unfortunately, I may not have painted it in high rez.
