Minos - Steps

Some steps to my Minos piece: [link]

Side notes, just in case -- I paint with a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet (6" x 8", aka my Preciousssss) I use the standard round brush normally, changing the size and opacity/flow as I go along to suit my needs. I prefer a greater flow percentage to opacity percentage because I feel it acts more like paint. I don't like to work on a whole bunch of layers anymore, forces me to be more painterly. I also used the sponge and spatter brushes (all standard with Photoshop) for the metal/cloth/etc to try actually PAINTING textures. The rest of the texture comes from photo elements.

I recommend , the stuff there is stellar.
