HOTDUCK
Have you ever tried OpenCanvas? *hint hint*


You could paint something there and then post the event file for us to see. That would be great.

How do you do the detailed things like the chain mail and fur?

[HellTaxi]

i dont understand how u got it from greyscale to color instantly??? please explain.

[xjmaschox]

Incredible, looks like a render. Maybe some ambient light would give it more drama? I appreciate your eye for detail. The group of characters in your site gallery is mindblowing.

HellTaxi, some people paint right over grayscale on another layer.

I'm also curious how the coloring process works.

If you use a normal layer, all that beautiful grayscale texture would be lost under the opaque colors... or the value range would be diminished by opacity.

Color layer option then maybe?

[hotduck]

When grayscale make color,use layer effect "color"..and retouch on normal layer. then, you'll see protection of details..^_^ CU~!

[Hardcore]

Awesome technique hotduck I am going to try and do somehting using your technique I hope you don't mind . Your art work is truly amazing and inspires me to paint even better !!

[ShawnYe]

The best part I like is how you do the chain mails but thats not created by custom brushes, is it? I never thought its possible to start from grayscale first because it will make the colours desaturated?

[bloodlust]

nice work. I would like to ask to write in more tutorial details.
thanks a lot.
