Process

I start by designing the creature. 

I get a mental picture of what I want it to look like. 

Then I'm off to the races. I usually start with the head.

My pencils are really loose.

 I continue onward down the body. 

I'm using Microns to ink. 

My big secret is how I get my line quality is...

I double up on my inks. 

Now its time to scan, I do black and white 400dpi.

 Photoshop time!

I'm going for a cool color pallet. 

I flat out my color scheme.

 Add highlights and shadows.

 The image was provided by the talented photographer:

Composite into the shot... some color grading, shadows on the ground. 

Added some breath steam to show how chilly the scene was.

Vinyl Concept Codename: Slop!

This guy broke in my brand new scanner! I think this weirdo would make a great vinyl figure sculpture type thingy. I just wish I had one of "those" type of connections to get him made by a professional company.
