Epic ! You did not illustrate this digitally, or did you use filters to make it look like real colours?

kazorkthedork responds:

actually it is a digital painting. I use Corel painter, which does an awesome job simulating paint in a realistic manner. thanks for the rating!

Hey! Great work as always! It has been some time since we had a chat. How long does one of your paintings take on average? Do you put everything on one layer?

themefinland responds:

Hey man!

Ahh how long each takes varies so, so much that it is almost impossible to answer, but these simpler pieces tend to be done in 2-4 days, the more complex landscape pieces tend to take closer to a whole week of work.

I do tend to try to use as few layers as possible, yeah. I find that if you plan things beforehand you can paint most everything on a single layer. However, if there are things I like to add which I am unsure or had not planned, I will add them on a separate layer and then later merge them onto the the same layer once I am happy with how it looks :)

[Lily - sculpt]

How much has sculpting improved your art? Would you recommend it to other artists? If yes, what is the easiest program and way to learn it? I played with blender manymany years ago, but back then it was too hard for me to get progress and i let it go after one attempt.

RoseredTiger responds:

It's helpful, cause it helps understand the underlying shapes and makes shading easer.
Blender is pretty decent and is a bit more beginner friendly since 2.8, zbrush is the industry standard and has the best tools as far as I know, especially when it comes to really high res stuff, but I've been told it has a very confusing interface and is hard to learn

[smaugust day 1-4]

Smaugust?! That is new to me! I love it, but getting one painting out each day, seems so incredibly hard to pull off! I hope you can do it. I better give up before i start haha. Also: That mole dragon is quite terrifying tbh xD

RoseredTiger responds:

I enjoy painting anywhay, so it's not much of a chore, and I'm pretty fast at painting all things considered, tho it does get a bit difficult sometimes.
And Yee, lol the mole dragon is a lil bit spooky, all eyeless and hairless

[landscape work]

Quite brave to paint like that! I never really had this kind of bravery in my paintings..wish i had it though.

fuloo responds:

Thank you! I used a really weird scratchy brush for the effect and honestly, it was quite fun to use!
