Lockjaw Photoshop February 2008
Hi, all! Some of you may have seen my series of space-military cats (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=588762)The Cataclysm cats need someone to fight and here's the first real contender to step into the ring: He's 'Lockjaw,' a German Shepherd Cyborg villain. I went a different route with this rendering than the other ones: While everything else was on a clean white background, Lockjaw really looked best in really dark armor, and it didn't show well on white. It looked nicer on a darker surface to let the subtleties pop out more.
This was done, like most of my pieces, as a pencil sketch, scanned in and painted in Photoshop, with just a little texture on the metal armor. Everything else was hand-painted.
