Some ImagineFX Q&A images... I've got a workshop coming up in one of their issues soon too. Stay tuned.
Sand Monster!

And a space scene. First time I've ever done something like this. Definitely not my thing, but I had fun!

I've been so busy with work that my poor Skin Tutorial has completely fallen by the wayside (again). I am going to try and work on it this weekend a bit, but for now I'm also working on a quick mini tutorial on face painting. I realized I had a portrait saved at two very critical stages that showed something important about the "secret" to creating realistic and individual looking faces.
I will do a more formal writeup about this over the weekend, but here is the gist: structural nuances. Notice how the "main features" of his face have barely been touched between the two stages. People tend to hone in on painting realistic eyes, noses, lips, whatever, but that's not what you need to focus on. It's those little details on the rest of the face that elevate a face away from being generic and mask-like.

(And yes, in case anyone was wondering, I do have an endless supply of bizarro characters.)
Cool things are happening right now. Next few months are going to be good. :)
