Artist's Comments

OK, this picture is actually Ginourmous. I was trying out a bunch of different coloring techniques here because I have not been happy with my art lately.
This entire picture was colored on one layer,
I worked with not even a hint of an outline!
I used only one brush type, the hard round brush, at varying opacities,
I used pure black on only the pupils and the border.
And last, but definately the very hardest for me, I did this very messily, I am normally incredibly meticulous and nitpicky, but I just wanted to do a speedpaint like so many I see, I'm happy with the result. :)

About the actual subject:
This is a Beholder from Dungeons and Dragons, They are a subteranean abberation type monster, they are incredably evil and intelligent, and they enjoy turning people and creatures to stone, and using them to decorate their cave the way a human might with taxidermy. The yellow light signifies an adventurer's torchlight, if you couldn't tell. :(

Time taken: 3 hours
