Green King Progress

This is a series of progress shots from :dev68604547:. I wanted to post it because I wanted to show what I meant by "workup". What it really is, is a digital painting built off a watercolor sketch. Using Photoshop, I was able to enhance the piece significantly without loosing much of the texture and character of the naturally painted piece.

At the beginning you can see my original watercolor piece. It was the first time I ever tried watercolor, so it was rather shaky.

Each progression represents 2 or 3 painting or adjustment layers that I've stacked on top of each other as I worked in the added colors, content and detail.

The final step is a multiplied "find edges" filter and an overlayed paper texture. This reintroduced some of the texture that I had lost through the process.

Enjoy!
