Popular Post Erk Posted January 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2016 Previously posted in the WIP forum. The colour scheme was proposed by my son, who picked this from my Shelf and managed to change it from one I really had no inspiration for to one of my favourites. Gotta seal it up good so that his three year old paws don't rub off too much detail. 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It's a good, organic, lifelike paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Very nice work on the shell. Each time I see Dragon Turtle, my first thought always go to Bowser lookalikes. This one looks like it'd be the inspiration for Bowser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erk Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks so much everyone! I think this guy is probably my strongest work yet. It's only in the last few months that I reached a point in my skills where I can cultivate my own style, and today I learned that the style I'm going for is called "painterly". It's been lots of fun trying to create something that looks realistic but in a stylized way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
