Orc Do-Over Work In Progress

Wanted to post a work in progress (WIP).  In my Redux post I mentioned on bring back a Orc Bowman piece and redoing it in Artrage3 with the new techniques I have started to use.

I never posted WIP.  However here is the newly named "Last Thing" (as this is the last thing you see before you get an arrow in you head) work in progress:

Last Thing WIP #1

Not shown in the screenshot is the layers window.  This is two layers with the tracing image (the original sketch, in Redux, post) on at apx 20% opacity.  The first layer I do a color wash with the airbrush to set my tones.  I also sketched in (with the Art Pen) a cloak wanted to add to show the breeze.  Going to do a wintery background, clouds and some snow flurries.   

I set the canvas to little larger than the 1024 x 768 that I typically use (set at 1280 x 1024).  And taking my time on the painting .  Using oil tubes the pallet knife and dry brush; use the airbrush to fill in shadow.  I only have the arm and leather gauntlet hand done and already I feel this going great.

Now just need a larger Wacom Tablet.  hmmm
