So the story behind this guy is pretty interesting. At the studio, we had an exercise where we drew a still life and then made an imagined piece based on elements from the still life. The one we did had, among other things, a model crow, a venetian plague doctor mask,  and tree branches. I took all those, and made a rough sketch of a skeletal bird man with a crow perched on his finger. Took that idea, then developed it more in photoshop, added values, overlayed color, refined and and refined, and this guy was the end result. I definitely need hours upon hours more of practice rendering digitally, as well as figuring out a workflow, learning better anatomy, lighting...the list goes on and on. For now though, here's the first of many digital pieces I hope to start posting regularly.
