Description I've been working on this, in one form or another, for months. I'm finally happy with it. There's a lot of detail (in the chair, especially) that gets lost at this small size. I'll post some details if you're interested. The full size is 40" square at 300ppi. Photoshop and Painter.
Thank you to all the superbly talented artists and stockists here on dA.

Dec 6 2010 - My very first DD! Thanks to and for suggesting my portrait of Myrddin. Wow. I can't thank you enough. This means a lot to me, and it's very encouraging. Thank you!!

Dec 7 2010 - Wow, over 900 faves...I'm amazed. And overwhelmed! No way I can thank everyone individually, much as I'd like to. Instead, please accept my thanks, everyone, for your faves and watches!

Hi

I'm writing an article (for a free french webzine : [link] ) on men and sacred males/divinities.
Can I use your a reproduction of your creation (with your credits and link of course) ?
Thanks for your attention !
Regards,

Xael

Earned and deserved. I am sure that the link I was on said that you were condsidering writing the article but I very pleased that it has been written and thank you for the link. I found the article very helpful as I tried doing it my way once only and was less than thrilled with the results. I will try your way tonight I can achieve a good result. I have bookmarked your blog, such a lot of great info there and thank you.

I have seen a few tutorials from you on digitalimagemagazine, until now I'm using Photoshop, but your tutorials convinced me to try Corel Panter too

Really? I thought that Concept Art was just for...concept art. You know, character design, matte painting, that sort of thing. I'll have to give it a look. Thanks for the tip!!

Wow, beatiful image. And you used his Welsh name, how can you beat that? The detail and intricacy is astounding. My daughter uses photoshop for her art, and she would love this. I'm going to point her to your page.
