this is the first time i've used painter, so this was an exercise to get used to the brush differences between painter and photoshop.

Very nice! That is eye-candy.
I guess a higher resolution version would totally rock my world.

A "first time using painter" image!?
It doesn't look like one. :)

i believe this was painted over a 3d mesh rendering. One of the 3d images on his webgallery shows the same character in grey shading.
