SciFi and Fantasy Art: Mind flayer color

This is an experiment with digital painting in Photoshop. I used a 6x9 Wacom pad as well.

Listen: your picture looks allot Magic the Gatherings "Phyrexian Plaguelord". That card was illustrated by Kev Walker, who is a great artist. I like his art, but I must say your "Min Flayer" looks a bit less... scary, wich is good, don't get me wrong. Just take a look at "Phyrexian Plaguelord" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

:-) William J. Kenney replies: "I must admit, I have never seen this card but I will definitely be on the lookout for it. Kev Walker, eh? I'll check his stuff out. Thank you."

This picture makes two things clear. At first the experiment worked just perfect and second you should continue with it. Awesoem picture!

:-) William J. Kenney replies: "I thank you for your comment. Yeah, the moderators choice award has inspired me to continue in this direction. Thanks to Elfwood for that..."

AAHHH! LOOK OUT! Its a magic yeilding zoidberg from
Futurama! I'm sorry, I just had to say that. I love the way you use colors. Amazing, really!

:-) William J. Kenney replies: "Magic yielding zoidberg.... ok, that's next on the drawing board...."

I say this at the risk of sounding like an oblivious twit, but how Lovecraftian he looks! I like the color choices, too. His gloves are also keen!

:-) William J. Kenney replies: "Yeah, anything with tentacles can be considered Lovecraftian I guess. Yeah, I killed him and stole his gloves. Hey, I'm pretty tough...."

err...the detail is phenomenal and great work on the effects and colouring.but I just cant get past the whole giant squid with arms and legs(and clothes for that matter)!

^^ Well we survived it. It was only meant to be a reason for our Master to get us out of the underdark. So we ended up on a ship, in the middle of a storm. Mine and another Dwarf were very happy about it... kinda ^^'''

Not often i see a drawing of a mind flayer. Although this doesn't look a lot like any of the other drawings i've seen before it's easy to see what it is. I like it alot. Well done.

You know what, I first saw this on the mini live, and I was going to post the first comment, about how it was so good, and would probably get mod's choice. Anyway, was this a scan? - if so, I thought it would be sort of cool to see the pencil (uncoloured). Unless you did it completely digital (a feet in my mind).

Also, just wondering: how long did this take to colour, i've been thinking of trying it out too (admitedly, after seeing this).
