Description Did the whole cover at 5000x 7000 pixels so this cant really be called a close up I guess, but it shows just a bit more detail.

Great Piece! Love how you even give the hat a character feel! CHEERS!
I got a call from Sal Q. the other day and he was speaking very highly of you.
Is Dangerous Curves the only book you did with Sal? Because i want to pick one up.

Thanks for the nice words!
I only did the cover for Dangerous Curves, but I did 3 pieces in 'Mermaids Song', 4 in 'Sword Song, Sisterhood of Steel' and just finished of a couple of new covers.

Did you paint the smoke?
Looks fantastic!

Loopydave In reply to Nubry [2009-01-22 00:47:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Smoke is completely made up and painted freehand with a mouse. Did take some photos of smoke from a candle and study them closely first though, just to see how it acts, then I applied that knowledge to creating my own. I really like learning why things are, rather than just copying something - that way it becomes broadly useful, rather than just the one time. Hope that made sense!

Man no wonder your so dam good, other people would have just gotten one of those brushes which just puts smoke there.
Im gunna have to take a leaf out of your book man.

I've only just picked up a digital paintbrush and I have absolutely no idea how I could achieve a result like you have here. Any chance you could give away a few insights? Maybe a walk through of the process? A tutorial perhaps? (I've just been churning through SteveSanchez's ( [link] ) video tutes, they're great.

But with this piece, I've got no idea where you would have even started. Lots of photo refs? Such lightplay off the skin and the boots...I'm seeing but I just am not believing how that's possible!

Unfortunately I don't do commissions - life is so busy that if I started doing them, I'd never have time to do any of my own stuff.
I checked out your link - nice work sir!

I'm always impressed by the realism of your images even when they are cartoony. Wished I could pull that off.

Sorry to make you cry! Glad you like it though. The picture actually started off more cartoony, but I kind of got lost in the details (not unusual for me!) and it ended up like this. Painted really large, so its probably hard to see the brush strokes at this scale too.

Wow, that's nice. Love your work on the wrinkles of the shirt and the shiny boots. I have something similar in the pipeline, but waiting for the models approval. Have a great week,
