Process

Here's the before and after on the previous concept piece.

And here's some of the assets:

Ttattoos drawn in Sketchbook Pro,

the textures are my own photos, and the logo was

created in Adobe Illustrator.
The tattoos are of course a rip-off of Sailor Jerry's work.
Any similarities are intentional.

Concept Art

Here's an example of my current rendered work.

This is a personal piece to show off the technique 

as most other examples will be tied up in NDA for many a year.

So something to show you guys and a portfolio piece too.

Sketchbook Pro for the underpainting and tattoos,

Photoshop for the matte overlays.

I'll post up the sbpro vs ps comparisons next week.

Then I'd better do a front view.
