Wizards of the Coast - AIRSPUR + tutorial
Hey everyone, AMAZING updating going on. You are the guardians of art who stave off mediocrity! And Loren - can’t wait to see you here in person mate! URRY UP!
Im stoked to be able to show the first tip of the iceberg that has been my new freelance position with Wizards of the Coast. I had the pleasure of working with Jon Schindehette, the AD over at wizards who also runs the ArtOrder blog, on a series of illustrations. Jon and I decided it would be cool to do a write up on the piece’s progress and then share it with the readers here and at artorder. So below is my step-by-step for my first ever WOTC illustration! I hope it is helpful to you — and expect to see more of these in the very near future ;) Can’t wait to show my other paintings also, as they are published…
