This image, which I’ve titled Storm Peaks, is one that I believe reflects my overall workflow pretty well, because it has combined 2D, CGI and brainstorming elements.
When I start, the first step is going to be the brief, from a client or from myself. Here I wanted a mountain environment, with dramatic lighting and Gothic ruins. While working on this piece, I wanted it to be a homage to the art of the legendary The Lord of the Rings artist John Howe, who captures Middle-Earth so well.
