Nice work !
Love the expression of the second one.
Are those inks? Or even a very soft pencil ?

[Lone Wolf]

Great us of pen& ink. Great work on your site as well. What WotC project is this for?

[guterrez]

impressive man, like the wizard stuff best

[Shango]

Thanks guys! Always good to hear nice things from talented people :)

re: media

I work all digitally. Every one except the second one and the orc one was done in photoshop. The remaining two are done in painter classic (friend of mine managed to get the older version working on my machine). All were done start to finish in the computer

re: project

The WoTC project was for Fields of Ruin. The top one is a drawing of the character Hellchick (from Quake 3- I work with the woman it's based on) and the other two were just stuff I thought up.

Thanks again!

One more I just completed. It's only one so I didn't think it deserved a whole new post :).

Had a lot of fun with this one, hope you like it.

hey really nice work here. id love to learn more about your digital drawing process. do you work with a rougher sketch layer underneath the finished lines?

[possessed]

the one with the earth elementals coming from the brickwall is amazing...
crit: not sure if I dig the wall behind the 6 armed gorilla dude, it seems a little out of place for such an exotic design.

Man, shades of Frazetta and Joesph Clement Cole, Nice line work!

Thanks :)

Generally what i do is sketch out the drawing in photoshop with a round brush that fades off (it's one of the default brushes-says 19 after it i think). Nothing really that special, just work general shapes and refine from there. I use the third brush down the default brush menu in photoshop when i start the 'inking' process. I might have several layers of refining until i start the inking but usually it's about 2-3 but I usually colapse them. Too many layers confuses me as does math and complex shapes:). I also have a tendency to resize, move slightly, liquify effect, etc parts of the drawing.
