Description
This one was a treat as I'm a huge FF fan and particularly a Thing fan. Rendering the Thing is another story though as he can take a long time. No easy way to render that guy, but it's fun to play with the textures.Prismacolor and Copic markers, white paint and color pencil on Canson Mi - Tientes paper

the depth is really amazing! looks clean and smooth enough to be digital art, but has that unmistakable natural feel of traditional works.

Thanks..You may have! They're extremely versatile and fun to use. They're limited only by your own patience hehe.

oh, and also. Id love to see you shift into some natural media painting "perhaps oil"
I think you'd be great at it

Hehe, baby steps. I've played around with acrylics to not so great results. Oils..never touched but I would like to try them out. They're just so expensive and I rarely get the time to invest in new mediums properly.

Oils are my preference for natural painting. Acrylics dry too fast! Gouache is swell too. I managed to find some really decent prices on oil products via dickblick.com

Yeah, acrylics are fast drying. Oils are the tried and true medium for painting. No doubt about it. They have the beautiful pigmentation and the rich texture that I love in painting, but with all the art I've done in my life, actual painting is the newest to me. My eye for color is horrendous and I'm not use to needing the patience it takes to paint the way I want to. I know I'll bite the bullet some day and really try my hand at oils. I'm an impasto lover, so it's gotta be oils LOL.

Im with ya man. oil is certainly at the top of my list. I feel you though with regard to developing the eye for color in natural light. Im pretty terrible with it, because I expect such decent results of myself on a tablet and a considerably smaller amount of time and when you take that knowledge to canvas everything seems to fall apart

I'm sure I can prove you wrong hehe. Oils will take some time. Traditional experience certainly translates to digital, but I don't know about vice versa. I guess you can answer that better than me since my traditional painting experience is so limited.

Awesome work! The Thing looks fantastic and the texturing is excellent. The overall composition is stellar; a new take on a classic scene.

Love the image and the Yancy St. sign in the wreckage shows just how big of an FF fan you are. That's an old school bit of knowledge.
