Artist's Comments

This is a digital painting done in Photoshop and Painter X - most of it was done in photoshop. I used textures, different brushes, to get all the different effects, This will go into the book Fantasy Art NOW! by Ilex Press.

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.

Very nice! Love his soft hair, the texture on his skin, and most of all his eyes. They look so real!

Gorgeous work, especially the head of the guy. His face really looks like a wise old man's face. The wrinkles in the hand are great too.

IMO there's something weird about the embers and the wisp of smoke, but I'm not sure what. The robe looks too sharp and "artificially textured" to me. Some softening would probably help with that.

Great stuff! This makes me think of Santa sitting down having a rest on boxing day glad that it's all over for this time :)

...could be because it is artificially textured... i painted it all, layers and layers, then just added texture on the top to get that effect.
The smoke was meant to be magical, hence its not 'realistic' as such...
