Description Due to Deviant Art not having the correct section to put this in. This is Mixed media with both digital and traditional elements
The bird was painted with Gouache, and the halo and drip was a mixture of both paint and scanned textures. Diamonds were done with photoshop.
Done for a concert poster submission.

Wow, the use of digital and traditional media blend so well it's hard to see where the one ends and the other begins. Beautiful job on this.

I adore Gouache. You did such a good job with it. Actually, the whole thing is lovely. What a collaboration of medias.

Gouache is always good for doing realism I found, that way I can work back into it if I don't like it dries

Yeah I totally know what you mean. It's very forgiving. So far I haven't made anything good with it, but it's a lot of fun to work with.

Hope so. I need to get some Gouache of my own; I've been borrowing my art teacher's and she's getting annoyed with me.
