first, i start out with a plain ol' line drawing, digitally sketched using a wacom tablet in photoshop--
next, i'll insert the paper texture background to give me some sort of value to work from instead of just the white background--mostly because it makes it look all fancy-like--
then i'll start laying in basic color with a rough sense of light and shadow--
i'll start to detail things out after that--dents and scratches in the armor, etc--
once i'm at the stage where i'm done with all the details (or i'm too lazy to add any more), i'll go in and pick out some highlights and try to fix areas i might have missed before--
finally, add in the border details and i'm done--generally speaking, these usually take anywhere from 4 hours and up, depending on how complicated the character is--

Very cool, Uno, Loial, and Fain are easily my favorite of your WoT art. Glad you opted to showcase Uno.

Awesome stuff man!!! your interpretations are excellent.
ace, i always wondered what your process was, what types of brushes in Photoshop do you use?
God, you're SO GOOD! LOL It makes me despair a little bit about my chances of even coming close. I have trouble with just doing the line drawings on the tablet, never mind the coloring, etc.! :0)
