Description
So here it is, the final version of the mighty wizard. I kept adding tiny details to it until my eyes almost went crazy on me
He's a wizard of the school of many colors and he's very very mighty...and a show off...look what happened when I entered his study and scared him as he was studying a new spell.
This is my latest personal piece, painted just for fun and I might add it to my prints later on.
I was trying out a new technique again, this time painting the entire picture in greytones and then adding colors to it afterwards.
This is entirely new to me as I add colors and shading/light as I go along with a picture.
Painted in several layers over approx 3 evenings.

It's done by a band Named Wizard, whihc is kinda epic. A band named Wizard singing bout a Mighty Wizard. The picture you did fits the feel of the song alot. If you get a chance try and find the song on Youtube.

This Wizard is really great. I cannot finish staring at him...
I'd like to ask, if I may use this absolutely brilliant picture as an illustration for my free card game licenced under creative commons. See my profile for some examples. But I have to tell you that for game specific reasons I should cover your image with a semi transparent layer.

Hey there, I'm sorry it took so long time to reply, inbox filled to the brim with messages after a long while of staying partially away from DA.
I love that you want to use my art for your game, but I have to say no as it will be made available for download for other people. If it were for a personal project, I'd probably let you do it
That said, I wish you good luck with your game!

This is one of my favorite wizard pictures on DA. Of course, I love wizards in general, but there's something about this one, and the way that you can almost feel a sense of animation, as if he's going to pop out of the computer screen and turn you into a newt for interrupting him!

so much details and the colors are looking so very nice. It must have taken long to color it all.

I think it took approx 3-4 hours last night to fully color and detail it. But then again, the original is about 3-4 times as large as the finished, sizereduced version.

Awesome job! I love the style of this. Do you have any tutorials to share with us?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've just set up a new edition of my personal website. I've planned and am in the beginning process of creating several tutorials or step-by-step explanations as to how I go about painting my pictures the way I do. I can't promise any dates as to when they're done but I'll post them as soon as I can.
