Well little lost tiki & surf-n-turf, what I do is doodle some ideas in my sketchbook, then when i have the concept, I draw the various components of the piece. On the tiki sub I drew the coning tower, the tiki man, and the various waves separately, then I scan them and take them to photoshop.
I then arrange them, resize, crop and remove any parts of the drawings i don't like. On the sub I grabbed lots of images of rust, cut them up and layered them to provide the texture. Finally I colour the image, adding shading, shadows and generally tidy up the image.

I'm planning on getting these images giclee printed on canvas as soon as I can find a cheap printer (or someone who'll do it trade price through my work)I think they'll look nice all printed up with nice frames.
