I think the step by step looks awesome, do you find the painting part relaxing? I only wonder because out of drawing my favourite part is the inking where I start to build up layers, much like you with colours.

Thanks man! I went about this one all wrong mostly coz it started as a self indulgent learning exercise rather than as a painting - I didn't block in my colours before I started, didn't work out my background or even finalize how I wanted the helmet, so as a process its not really a. typical or b. a good example for someone to follow .... but the painting of it was a lot of fun!

Honestly it's what I'm planning on going back too in the coming weeks much more pencil on board and less Photoshop, also the way you block in colors first is something I need to practice, if I don't go value first I'm all kinds of lost lol

The usual stuff. 5 dollars in change, my licence and a note to remind me to be polite to heavily armed dwarves.

Step One: Begin with a pencil sketch ten times more awesome than anything I've ever called a finished piece, let alone a preliminary

Dwarves get a little suspicious when you do that though - and its really not a great idea to raise the ire of heavily armed, drunken dwarves with some kind of literal and metaphorical ax to grind.
Cheers man!

Thanks again! You are really an inspiration to me.
