Description
***UPDATE 10/20/11: I revised this piece for poster size printing. I will have a few high quality art prints available at 22x28 poster size. If interested, please let me know by sending me a message/note here on dA. I know the printer so the pricing will be very reasonable! ***end update***-
Here is the magazine cover separated from my gears of war contest entry (see my entry here, [link] ).
I painted up Anya firstly as a separate file, then dropped her on a magazine size format and designed the faux magazine cover around her. The cover actually came together fairly quickly. I was feeling pretty creative that day, ha! The painting of Anya took a long time to brush out. I don't do digi paints very often so I am pretty slow at it yet. On to more!

And Cliffy B said that Epic will continue making Gears games just not a sequel to 3 because it doesn't make sense to do so. He says "Maybe a prequel?"

Hey Lazerviper, they are a combo of texture layers at a lower opacity and some basic brush strokes here and there. Find some old books and rough paper and then scan them in. You can use multiple parts of your scans on different layers and layer blending modes to get the effect you like. I'm sure there are some kick@$$ tutorials here on dA for textures too.
