Thorin Oakenshield

I wanted to try out Justin Gerard's technique of painting a monochromatic painting with water colours and then coloring it in photoshop. It was hard, but I liked the result. I also threw in some opaque gouache and water color pencils into the mix.

The subject matter is my rendition of Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the company of dwarves in The Hobbit, which I assume everyone here has seen or read already. I might use it for my own original character. We shall see.
