Description
Was most fortunate to be asked to write a chapter for the upcoming Digital Painting Techniques Vol. 4 so I painted this as a tutorial piece to demonstrate my approach, painting metals, liquids, calculating reflections and yes, illustrating psychotic pets.Do not build one of these at home... water and electricity together are not your friend.
Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.

They were long days Glad someone thinks it was quick though... I'm often quite embarrassed at how long I take on a painting. Not sure what 'Gnomon' is, but it was done as a digital painting tutorial for 'Digital painting techniques vol 4 to be published by 3Dtotal... no video I'm afraid, but I gave them around 20 images of my process along with some 1600 words. No math, but definitely some rough approximation of physics (I love that stuff).

ahem ahem... and how might one get a hold of this tutorial??? huh? huh? ...Gnomon is basically a umhhhh.... what the hell would you call it? I guess a 'banner' under which a bunch of concept artist publish stuff... mainly instructional DVD's and stuff.

Waaaaaay cool!! Crazy concept, great art, spectacular detail!! Love the helmet! We can visualize the HAIR-RAISING experience the cat would have. What a image that would be! But the smell of burning hair is NOT pleasant!! A cat eats a caught fish, but what does a fish do with a captured cat? Just FRY him, I guess!!

Burning hair does stink alright... not sure the fish would smell anything from within his bowl though
