Description
An image painted recently in ArtRage to support a magazine editorial piece. Not as finished as I'd like because of time restraints.copyright Nick Harris 2012

Very very nice. Which tools in AR have you used for this?

Thanks Merlkir.
Tools? There is a lot of blocking in using the chalk and crayon tool. Line work fluctuates between pencil and inkline tool. Then there's a fair amount of shadow and colour variation laid down on layers of watercolour.
The textural elements (particularly on the frozen water) were either just painted or introduced using a stencil made from a picture of a stoney surface, transformed to be much wider than it was tall.

Ahha, I was mostly wondering about the ice texture. Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks Majeed-Q8.
A lot of the natural look has to do with ArtRage software - that and me being an old fuddy-duddy.

Nicely done, Nick. (It sounds better than the punnier, "Totally cool" line I came close to using.) I especially like the way you handled the frozen water.

Puns are my life's blood Keight, so you can never go wrong throwing those at me. Thanks.
