Ricky, your work is exceptional. I just had a look at your site and loved all of it but paid a particular interest in the life drawing since I did that for a number of years. I have a quick question tho, what medium is the color pic done with - the beast ? You have listed your site in computer art but it doesn't appear to be done purely with a computer. Is it guache ? I note that almost all of the artwork done in Dragon & Dungeon mag is of similar medium and I cant work it out if its guache, a certain style that people use with acrylics, or whether it has had some pen tablet & photoshop applied. Whatever it is, its very effective, especially at capturing great fantasy lighting.

thanks for looking at my work redrobes. i appreciate the praise.
the beast is all digital. and just photoshop at that. not much too it. i always start with rough pencil or ballpoint pen sketches, but shed that layer when i have a solid color-base.
a lot of artists use guoache. plus acrylic...plus oils...plus digital even.
but me personally, i do all color work in digital.
dont know if i answered you to your liking...but i tried.

Not much to it.... I like that !

You must have a good pen tablet to do it all digital. I have a little one - A5 and it helps a lot tho I think it would help if it were larger - not that having an A0 one would get me near your standard.

Best o luck & thanks for the reply.

Very cool! How many chaos mutations do you have, because its clear you are from the Realms of Chaos!

Seriously, I really like the compositions - the pain priest is my fav.
