Description Here's an illustration I did a while back for Wizards of the Coast's Dragon mag. As is true for most of my commercial work these days, I did a quick sketch in Photoshop for client approval, and then proceeded to block it out in black and white. Once I was happy with that, I layed in the colour, and continued to paint (still in Photoshop) into it, pretty much until I ran out of time... that's often my signal to stop

Bad Dogs!

Ahhh this just captures the very essence of gnolls, really is an amazing piece, the textures you've painted on are so effective! The lighting I think is great, very dramatic, looks like a scene out of a horror almost :3 except, I don't think theres any gnolls in any horrors I know of hehe. buut yeees end of ramble on GREATNESS! XD really is brilliant.

This is very awesome! Really captures just how brutal some of the monsters in D&D are supposed to be. What makesme love this even more, is just today in a session I'm in, had an encounter with gnolls attacking a village. XD Love this!

Great result. Thanks for going over your technique too. Never did get round to trying it in monochrome and colouring later - obviously works brilliantly for you though. Excellent.
