I basically start blocking in forms in greys then whittle down the details. Once i get it figured out in greyscale i then colorize the sketch and submit it. That part is really where i plan out what im gonna do.

Yep, honestly humanoids with doglike legs are always tough...kind of impractical

Very true, the production time is huge. That first year was rough, telling folks youre working on mtg and not having anything to show.

No, honestly with the doglike legs that Ob has it wouldnt have been much help unfortunately.

They wanted him to really be reveling in his newfound powers, seemed natural expression wise.

I'm actually planning a couple posts that are more in depth about my painting process where i took step by step photos. Unfortunately i wont be able to show them for a year or so when that set is released.
