This piece was created for a contest over at Pixelbrush.net, inspired by one of Henning Ludvigsen's wunnerful artbits. I used this photo for reference (http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/art/Various-21-55424731), following Henning's 'grid-up' method. I tried to begin in grey-scale, as he does, but found it easier to work in browns. So...let's say "brown scale"! An article in ImagineFX mag (I forget which issue) helped with the wings, and...um...I think that's it! Peace, out.
