Description I'm sure there is insanity to be found in painting so many scales - every time I paint a crocodile I promise myself to NEVER do it again... but I guess I'm called 'loopy' for a reason.

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

Outstanding, love the motion that screams from the air-born drink and mid-air hanging cigarette.

your welcome, it rocks man, and in photoshop, i must have missed the lesson at uni where you can use photoshop like that?? must have taken ages..! am trying to get my hands on a program called digital SAI, its a japanese one that does vector lines and photoshop stuff at the same time?

Loopydave In reply to FuzzySpider [2012-07-02 11:56:54 +0000 UTC]

I've heard of digital SAI - never tried it myself. And yes, it did take awhile - rough guess of around 60 hours if I remember correctly.

Thanks Lee Anne! Tattoo is just a tribal love heart - he thought it looked cool and made him look tough, but you really don't need a tattoo for that when you've got giant jaws full of razor sharp teeth

Well, Louis was master of trumpet, who dreamed to play in real jazz orchestra. The problem was that he was not human, but an alligator. Finally he made his dream real by playing among jazz band, which used costumes of animals. People thought, that he was human in suit.

thank you for replying back. I didn't expect you to lol your work's fantastic I will try to take your steps because I use photoshop alot but I can only get as far as using the paint brush tool and the paint bucket tool as well. I don't know how to paint to make my art look more realistic is all. If you could possibly give me a few tips, that'd be amazing
