Pencil...Artrage...Paint Shop Pro for tidy-ups....

xhastex, glad to see that you too are keeping up with the sketches! I especially like your unique looking dragon. And I appreciate the loose paint strokes in your "time to consider" piece.  In fact, there is something wild and untamed about the way you paint that I find myself drawn to. 

Keep 'em coming!  

thankyou kindly again Red Ninja...always appreciate your kind words...XD....

My pleasure xhastex! I see you are keeping busy!

I like your latest green fellow here. 

So do you have a preference between Art Rage, Painter, and Photoshop?  

thankyou again Red Ninja....most of my work either starts with pencil or Artrage where sometimes it is completed but the majority goes into Painter...i use Paint Shop Pro (my Photoshop alternative) mainly for texturing, either through photo overlays or custom brush work, for basic coloring/dodge(ing)/burn(ing) and for adjustments at the end....i also use Bryce a fair bit (always in conjunction with PSP)....if i had to choose one programme itd either be Artrage or Painter and for now im undecided....XD...
