Description Edit 13.09.2010. A couple more tweaks - levels and a lot of small lighting adjustments. Depth reads slightly better as a result so I'm finally happy with it and calling it done. *kirbydance*

Edit 06.05.2010. I wasn't 100% happy with the image, so I finally went back and fixed a billion little things. In my super biased opinion the pose and all should read a little better now. I put up the old version here , in Scraps, for comparison so you all know I'm not spamming your inbox just because. Dx

A personal project that took quite long in between everything else, was a really good learning experience, and probably filled my quota of drawing mossy rocks for 2 years in advance. (Not that it means I won't turn around and paint some moar mossy rocks like 3 days down the road. >_>)

Anyhooow. He's meant to be a shapeshifter, currently sporting a form suitable for long happy fluttering around and not a whole lot else - hence the peculiar proportions. The stuff wrinkled around his waist in a horrible mess is quite expensive clothing, and the patterns on the feet and hands are a way of promise to those he's been dealing with that there will be no further shapeshiftery shenanigans going on, as changing would obviously disrupt the markings. Given all that, he's a representative of some sort, taking a short break on the way back home. By the look of things, the journey was probably successful.

Corel Painter 9, Wacom Intuos 3, and I don't know and don't want to know exactly how long this took. :L

And here I was thinking the old version had been perfect . You truly managed to improve it even further, the deeper shadows, the brighter highlights, the feathers and his changed pose ... unbelievable ... I wish I could double it

Your Rocky Moss rendering really paid off and the way you are able to render everything so well from feathers, to foliage to water, really shows your mastery of the digital medium.

This is crazily awesome! His design is so intriguing, and the care you obviously paid to all the details adds to the feeling that he has a story to tell. I could go on and on, but suffice to say, I don't think there's anything about this painting that I don't like!
