Dusty Ghost Blog

So I decided that I wanted to get back to basics.

This is an anatomy study I did in Photoshop. There is also a GIF to show the progress I went through. Total creation time, about 5 hours 30 mins.

However I lost his head at one point and forgot to paint in back in. LOL! :p

Also had to use the liquefy tool to get the proportions right, I kinda dropped the ball on that at the start. But it was easy to fix. And you learn from your mistakes.

Believe it or not, the hardest bit was getting the veins on the arm to look natural!

Yup that’s right! Finally after all this time, we have a new company mascot!

Dusty Ghost himself!

As you can see, he’s just a cute little ghost who’ll be popping up all over the Dusty Ghost website, this Blog, any invoices and contracts we send out, and of course any promotional material we may be sending out later!

Again, I must say thanks to Craig Thomson (cst-art.com) for the initial idea and concept.

In case you’re wondering, I made him in ZBrush using a toon material.

Expect to see a lot more of this little fella!

A number of people used to come here to view the Graphics Tablet Tutorial I created.

So I’ve re-posted it on the site.

Many people, including me, find flipping from real life mediums to a tablet hard.

This tutorial will help you develop skills in using a graphics tablet via simple repeated exercises.

So it becomes less about thinking of the way to do it, and more about the drawing.
