Surrender

I was really inspired when I created this image, I think this may be the earliest I have submitted work to IF (Illustration Friday). It was difficult at first, I wasn't very sure what I was going to create when I first saw the word of the week "Surrender".



3hours and 21 layers later, this is what I came up with.
I tried using the Rough Round Bristle brush on Photoshop CS4 for the majority of the illustration.

Chicken Dance

I created this image on the 17th of January for the group Illustration Friday on Flickr. I also drew this image with the Wacom Intuos4 Med size, in Photoshop CS4.




For this illustration I used approx. 21 layers and looked at several images of Roosters for photo reference.

Dusty

This is an image I drew with the Wacom Intuos4 Med size, in Photoshop CS4. I submitted this to the group Illustration Friday on Flickr, the word of that week was 'dusty'.



When I thought of the word dusty, I thought of the Old West and the horses in Old Western movies that always created large clouds of dust.
I wanted to make this image realistic, but at a closer look, not at all. The horses are quite choppy but I like the look, it makes them almost seem as if they are made of dust. I tried to use that same idea in the background.



For the illustration I used approx. 25 layers and it was around 2-3 hours later that I decided it was complete.
