Severus Redux

Tonight I really wanted to practice some nice blends - here's an old speed paint that I've given a make-over. Objective was to get more painterly - specifically I'm trying to reconnect with Painter, something I used to be pretty good in but have slowly adopted PS as my main tool. Below, a close up of the arm. I really have to start using anatomical reference ...

And here's the old version, if you're interested in comparison ...  Black Emporer

How to trap a Monster Pirate: Scooby Concept.

Hors d'oeuvres made me do it...

This is my forth day stuck inside on crutches after an operation to take a metal pin outa my leg. I'm going batshit crazy so I have no idea where this came from or what it means! Hors d'oeuvres ARE the devil though, trust me.

Battle for Oz

Here's an interior illustration from the afore mentioned Burning Horizons. A right bunch of bastards, these.
