Description Here you go!
So once again unfortunately I didn't really save any steps in the 'painting' stage so much, but hopefully you get the gist of it anyway.

While I think the first sketch I did was more effective as an image itself, the focus of the card needed to be on the blue drake with the red drake being almost incidental, rather than actually showcasing the battle between the two as much.
Probably about 12 hours, all in photoshop CS 4.
Final document ended up with 10 layers (I think that seems about average for these images) and working res is 6000x4600 px.

Enjoy!
Final is up here -

So you make the picture very large so that even when you paint it sketchy, when you zoom out, the picture looks so neat and crisp?

Mr--Jack In reply to HonG-t [2011-09-22 06:50:02 +0000 UTC]

Yep; detail always works better when the final product is smaller than the working size; you can get away with a lot sometimes
