Nice Work there =3 I love it

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm rendering out as many concepts from my sketchbook as possible sine they're still fresh sketches. I find that I rarely ever go back to paint or revisit old concepts even if they're just a few months back. Might as well paint 'em now. : )

HEY i like this!!! what software do you use? then you draw it use what brush?

Photoshop and Brush #19. This brush has softer edges and when I paint with it, I'll hit F5 to bring up the brush settings dialogue and change the brush shape to make it pointy. That works *great* for rendering fur as I can get some really sharp points.

do u use artrage pro? im using artrage pro and i hope you can teach me how to use it feature

I don't use artrage - just Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash. This pic was 100% photoshop. : )

seriously i never tryed photoshop i want to try it so what photoshop should i get? i heard that photoshop is a picture editing program confuse eh?????

Well, you can do any sort of editing with photoshop. You can use it for photo manipulation, drawing, painting, whatever you want. I still use Photoshop CS3 - so there's no need for the latest and greatest version. Look online for an older version of Photoshop - you'll be able to get one fairly inexpensively.

Just make sure you have a tablet if you are painting - without one its a lot more difficult.

oooh like that no wonder the painting is great so does it painting using tablet same as we do on paper? or it would be much weird

and maybe some hotkey on artrage pro

I like how wry he looks. Like something's either making him hold in a laugh or he saw something and is trying to keep back some sort of sardonic comment. as always, I'm envious of your coloring technique.

Hi Jen,

Thanks so much for the feedback! Here's what I've been doing in regards to coloring. I'm using greyscale layers to start out, then adding multiply/ overlay layers on top of it. There's a little bit of trial and error to get things to work right, but its totally worth it. : )

Wow, I love this. It looks great!

I like the painted look the picture has, gives it a really nice and colorful look, lots of warm colors too! :)

Thanks for the feedback, Ronin. : )

I've been working on this technique for a while and finally got it down to the style I like. Plus the vibrant colors match my charactr so well too.

Yeah, they really do! They are very complimentary to your character.

Wow, that looks awesome dude!

Thanks, Tim! I'm working on a few more concepts at the moment for various characters in development. I should have more up soon!
