This PSD file contains the following steps taken to develop an illustration from a rough oil painting to a refined digital illustration:
- Snapshots of the traditional sketch process—rough thumbnails, horse and bird anatomy explorations
- Designing clear line art for complicated forms such as wings and feather layouts
- Refining the piece through progressive layers of digital painting—with strategic use of blending modes
- Building up material effects like gold and glowing fire
- Exploring a dark environment in order to further emphasize an appearance of light within the creature design
