The Final Piece, Sketches to Production Quality.

With the Style Guide made and a great deal of knowledge on brushes acquired, it was time to create the final piece of art.

I started out with some thumbnails which was presented to peers, similar to presenting to a publisher. The first image suited the style guide and peaked interest the most, so I created a more advanced sketch.

This piece, although has anatomy issues, was accepted by peers on the basis that it would suit the guide and sit well on a Magic: The Gathering card. This is due to the image's subject matter being quite simple yet effective and easy to convey on a small canvas.

Initial Colouring and texture.

  Progressively adding more detail and texture whilst remove the line work. This piece was well received. Which meant I could continue on and create the final piece.

Adding Background texture to add interest and setting.

The final Piece. Added in more texture to be reminiscent of older artwork found in Homelands. Very happy with the art, especially the textures used, which was not a strong point of mine before the project. Now I feel a lot more confident with it.
