Crank! - Digital Painting Process -
"Crank!" - A visual representation of hearing upsetting words.
One part shock. One part pain. One pinch anger.

Stage 5: Final Touches
Continuing with the paintbrush, I introduce new color tones, and continue to smooth out and refine the shapes until I'm happy. A little bit of color correction also goes in the mix before adding the final details

Color layer without the lines
I did all the painting on one layer for a more painterly feel. This is what it looks like with the lines turned off.

thanks man :)
I think you have been sent from the Imagination Realm with a bag of muses to throw at me until I become instanly aware that I am supposed to get cracking on a whole new 2018 series... OMG, your artistic version of my trip report is SO dead on... I want to collaborate! I want to learn some damn fine techniques from you... Be my human light-table!!
No seriously, are you on Discord? If not, will you get on PAL Network for MSP on Discord, just so we can message back and forth and brainstorm in real time? I am in a HUGE transition, emergence, all of that right now... Perfect time to meet a Paul to my John!!
Here is an invite to there: https://discord.gg/ty3kQu
i'm here for you man! I believe you're heading onto greater things!
I just did a steemit post featuring you... I hope it is okay that I ran your art as the main picture...
Let me know if I should adjust... You must be sleeping these hours...
