Hey guys, managed to put aside some time to do a personal piece. I pretty much stuck with a traditional approach by using only one brush for most of this painting and also avoided photo textures. Done in Photoshop CS5 with Wacom Intuos 4. Took about 5 to 6 hours give or take. If you have any questions feel free to send me a note and i'll try to answer them as soon as possible Cheers guys!
