Foot soldier

This was a lot of fun.  I had made a texture brush a long time ago, and I decided to make a painting using only that texture brush.  I wanted to try and paint it only in greyscale and then apply color.

This is what I came up with.  I also used some dodge tools at the end as well as some color balance tricks.  I really like the feeling of this, and may do more.

  1. I really like your picture. I think you did a great job with it. I'm really impressed with your creativity and that you were able to do this is such a short period of time.

  2. Very nice! Looks like a book cover for "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" or something like that.

    1. haha, thanks for the kind remarks! I had forgotten about the Green knight. There was a guy in my illustration class a couple years ago who did a piece about him. I hand't really heard much about him before that. I should read up on that.

      If im not mistaken, didn't Sean Connery play a part about the Green Knight?!
