I was inspired by the works of Phil Hale and John Foster and I have made everything completely different to what I've learned about composition, perspective, viewpoint, viewangle, colors etc. But I am happy with the result. This work was entirely done in Draw, with sketches done in Photopaint. Heavy use of meshfill tool. To watch the tutorial of this piece: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=6UvuMfjWbwI
Update: At least I wasn't happy with the background, and I have added some ArtisticMedia stokes to bring out the painted look. This is my Contribution to the spanish contest "Concurso de Diseño 2008". Thanks to Ariel for the Link/Invitation!
