It's a BATTLE!

2009-02-27T14:25:00.000-08:00

Fun illustration i did for my class. Nick Bachman and myself watched some Lord of the Rings last weekend and i was Jonesin' for some sweet fantasy battles, so i created this drawing in photoshop. I tackled this piece trying not to use my ink lines but more shapes of colors. I am trying to get this as close to a painting as i can (so far).
