Just wanted to share my first ever digital illustration since I do not know when.

This is part of a huge digital artwork I did for an online competition. Unlike my other wallpapers in this website, I did NOT use any photographs for this artwork. All you see here are strokes using a Wacom stylus pen in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I had a lot of fun working on this although I strained my eyes for around 8 hours and I always end up with a migraine after every painting session.

I must say I'd rather paint miniatures than do this everyday, due to the headache I get whenever I stay too long in front of the computer monitor. I am pretty happy with the result, although I feel that my drawing skills are a bit rusty as evident with the rough strokes in some parts of the digital drawing ( see the rough eyes ).

I will have to edit this post once the organizers accepts my entry...wish me luck guys. :)
