Yup, RIP. I suppose you can't complain too much if you make it to 93, but I was sorry to hear of his passing. He was putting out heavy metal albums in the last few years. I thought that was beyond awesome!
Indeed.
He was a wonderful actor and a true gentleman.

He will rise again! (I hope!)... great choice of tribute, Sarithus!
Well, it's been a while but I'm trying to do some more with Middle Earth.
I'm working on a Moria thing atm. Very loose and non-canonical to be sure.
Didn't feel like rereading the books to get specifics about anything. Lazy.
Too much work - in real life and to reread as well.
So just an underground layout to go along with that Moria title I had been doing.

Maybe if I'm lucky I can finish it this weekend but that might be a bit optimistic.

Woohoo! Looking forward to this!

Hopefully I will make it interesting enough to be worth looking forward to.

A little more sketch and layout. Some bits I'm not thrilled with.
Might change some of the layout.

edit - decided to scale the title. Seemed the wrong size before.

Do you draw your plan out on paper first, then scan it, and trace it from there? Is that just easier for you to get started, rather than sketching out on screen?
I can almost hear the orc drums in the background ... or maybe my music's too loud... nah, it must be orcs.

Well, sometimes I sketch it on paper first. Sometimes that's easier. But with this one it was all sketched in PS.
Not sure if it is looking like it was sketched on paper here but it wasn't.
The grid, grey lines and all are in PS. No scans on this one.
For starting sketches in PS I use a larger basic brush, like 10 pixels, where I draw usually at 5 pixels. I sketch on a layer at 30-50% opacity.
When I'm sketching I'm usually zoomed out at 25-50%. When I'm drawing detail I'm zoomed in at 100%, occasionally in to 200%.
Haha, I listen to a lot of soundtracks while I work.
Today it has been Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, Krull, and Gothic [by Thomas Dolby]. Sometimes I listen to medieval music or vid. game music.
Music is a big part of my day. When you're stuck in front of a comp. screen all day good motivational and mood music is important.
