I've long admired the techniques of Android Jones' colourful abstract portraits and tried something like it myself. I don't yet have Painter 12, which has mirror features - those would have been handy - but did this in Painter 11 with a load of tools I don't always use.

Psychologically, garren are impulsive and usually the first to act. They tend towards polarized views; because of the trouble the combination can get them in garren are often found in voice houses getting counsel b...

A character illustration oo sorts - Radseri is the guy happily floating there held by the spirit's tentacle/tail-thingy. It's for my world Genius Loci, whose development you can see on my worldbuilding blog starmakersgaze.blogspot.com . I made the tail segments for the two larger spirits in Sculptris and painted largely in Painter.
