I'm doing some art for the upcoming Planescape Monster Book. I've been lurking here for a month or two, and my digital painting is finally up to a level I'm willing to share! So, here's the progress so far. What do y'all think?

Oh, and the first three are 1/3rd the original size. The last image is a 1:1 closeup of the head & torso.



Photoshop faux-pencil

First pass

Second pass, and a little fire layer (which I'm not sure I should keep)

Closeup of head & torso. I think I'm done with the head, neck & breast. Next up: Arms and spine-stomach-thing.

On second thought, I'm gonna do more work on the teeth before I declare the head complete.

Thanks! Wizards authorized a group of online fans as the Official Planescape folks. They're working on several 3E Planescape books (online, free PDFs, I think). I offered to do some art, so voila!

Oh, and the finished piece is here on the board, so feel free to reply to it and bump the post back to the top :)
