Portrait of Riley - Steps

I had this idea to paint one of my dogs as if he was in a traditional portrait. I put in about 8 hours on Saturday while listening to "Roseanne" on the TV in the background. I figure that I have about an hour or two left until completion. I have had a really great time painting this and laughing the entire time. Here are some of the steps in my progress so far. Painting done entirely in Adobe Photoshop on a Wacom Cintiq tablet.

Update***
Painting complete. Total time: 10 hrs.

Dwight The Hay King

I had the idea to do a painting of Dwight as the Hay King from a previous episode. I am really having a great time painting this. The hay texture was a bit of a challenge at first but I came up with a process that greatly reduced the time involved in painting.

B-Movie Contest Entry Progress

Ok... I have been mulling over this idea of a movie title for a while and I finally have an outlet to creatively express it: The B-Movie Poster Challenge over at CGSociety. I am moving much slower than I would like to be, but that is my own fault. I seem to hide behind the "creative rut" wall, but in reality my lack of inspiration or motivation is due to the little voice in my head telling me that I don't have the ability to make my vision come to fruition. I realize that typing of thinking is crippling to my creativity, but it happens every time I sit down to draw. Anyway, hopefully I will finish it in time for the deadline.
