Ridley Speedpaint

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Ridley? Cuz I really, really do :3

A Ridley speedpaint that I did as an experiment during my Bio class. (*cough*) I played around with a number of different things here, but I am quite happy with the final product

This was painted entirely on one layer using the Pen Opacity brush in PS. It only took about an hour/hour and a half to complete, so it marks the fastest painting I've ever done... And, what's more, it's actually a painting, instead of using clipping masks as crutches.

He's a little bit cramped onto his canvas, but I sort of like it this way. Gives it a little more tension and also makes it look like something you'd see on a trading card or something.. haha

EDIT: Fixed t he eye highlight a bit cuz it was bugging me..
