Still recovering from Tiki Oasis...where's the Tylenol.

Some newer pieces I've done including a new digital painting with some step by step images. It's been over a year since I've done a digital piece and I've been working on this one off and on for the past few months. I wanted to keep a lighter color pallet on it.

Here is the full finished image, painted in Photoshop.

"The Hijacking of Sputnik 13"

This is the original rough sketch with the start of the idea.

This is the color study done in pencil on paper.

Here is the image built in Illustrator. I keep the shapes flat and contrasty so when I bring it into Photoshop I can easily select
areas and paint within the selected shape. At this point I can refine with the basic color scheme.

Here is the final painting again, painted in Photoshop.
