Description Creature [3] of my beastiary

Yes, it is finally done. As you can tell, I still haven't fully grasped digital media, but the transition from traditional to digital media has actually been a lot smoother than I had anticipated.

This piece took quite a lot of planning, and initially, I had intended for it to be a mugshot only. But I changed my mind halfway through painting the bust, and proceeded to plan out the rest of the body. Because I tried to keep up with the level of detail on the mask, I worked at a irritatingly large magnification through most of it.

I can be really indecisive when it comes to original concepts..which slows the process..This would be a good example, hehe. Well I hope you guys like it!

Estimated time: 9 hours or planning and work.

the details are spectacular. the winged figure on the mask looks like an ethereal being with the way that you positioned the 3 dots, like its flying and eerily sighing as it flies; the tattoos on his chest and the way the arms meld into the bird talons is wonderful, and the facial scruff is well done.

i can only imagine some of the other creatures you might make.

Oh no you didn't!
What program do you use again? Sorry if you posted that info somewhere and I'm just too lazy to look.
Awesome job. As others have said, the detail is astounding. Your skilz scare me more than it does. D:

Thank you v much! Working at that huge magnification was really irritating. Because just when I thought I finished a decent chunk of it, I zoomed out and then proceeded to facepalm. Oh, I used Photoshop CS2 by the way.

Haha, that happens to me a lot as well. Or when I use traditional media, everything looks great on paper, but when I scan it and get to look at it perfectly straight, I notice so many imperfections. It usually takes a good half hour to fix all those flaws before I'm satisfied. xD
