About this image
Hi everyone, so I've been staying in wilderness again with no connection, but a real adventurer never goes about without a laptop, so I was spending my time reading through tons of Photoshop tutorials and trying my hand for the first time in freehand digital painting. I realise many of you would rather see a nice painting of a gracious deer, a beautiful butterfly, or a cute naked warrior girl, but no such luck. Here comes The Beast. ;P I hope you like it. It's 100% painted from scratch in Gimp except the backdrop which you may recognise as a slightly modified scenic screenshot by discovery1. Discovery, I hope you don't mind me (ab)using your image without even asking, but you know, it was better than anything I'd ever come up with, it had all the right colour tones, and it was sitting in my wallpapers folder like a Christmas gift. :) Can I upload it in HD to deviantart - with all the credits and honours, of course?
See you guys soon before I go for holidays to Greece in a couple of weeks.

Ha, ouzo! Ouzo's great for a couple of shots, but knowing my fate I'll be the family driver again, so I'd better stick to Mythos. One thing I'm looking forward to, though, is Cretan raki. Nowhere else do they make raki as good as in Crete - but not the sort you buy in shops. You go to the mountains and buy it from an old lady there. Once you sneak past her trolls, that is
Great work!

P.S: Drink as much Ouzo as you like, that stuff is great!
Have a great time in greece my friend, mind the ouzo!
the picture makes a fearful properly.
one may think he wants to jump out of the picture immediately.
he looks so determined.
brilliant picture
Wow! I am speechless! Fantastic work, mac!
Yeah, I only took the main silhouette from a screenshot to keep the right proportions, but all the other stuff is hand-painted. Took me more or less a week - on and off. The only texture I used was a leather suitcase which I had to completely redo anyway
