Thanks! It's an older character design. If you take a look in my sketches I've got the original sketch there.

Oh, wow, that looks awesomely creepy. Almost photorealistic.

I notice you're using CS2 a lot now. Do you like it better than Painter? What are the strengths?

The Horned King! I remember being so frightened as a child when my mom read me the first book, and every time the Horned King would appear! Fantastic!

Thanks! Figured out a couple new techniques.

CS2 strengths? It's fast. It's a lot more conducive when trying to crank out a really quick sketch.
Do I like it better than Painter? Well, can't really say which I like better. For me, they have different purposes. Painter helps me develop texture that I wouldn't be able to achieve in PS. Kind of that added realism effect.
I prefer to work with both of them together. That way, I get the speed of PS when developing the base painting, and I get the brush qualities when I bring it into Painter. Problem is, I don't have my Painter installed, so I haven't been using it. I was really missing it when doing the fur.
