I'm usually not fan of gryphons, but i have to say the badassness of this one convinced me =D. excellent job

This looks really cool. I love your lighting and that criss-cross brush texture. Have you used any post process filters on that?

I pretty much alway use some form of colour adjusting at the end to just slightly nudge everything around a little . Little more contrast when i feel it's not enough ,that kind of stuff.

as for the texture in this particular picture, it's a fairly faint texture of some rusty metal , and some sort of "selfmade" texture i guess, where you take some brushes, paint stuff, then dublicate that layer. Make one black the other one white , put both on overlay or soft light and just nudge them apart a pixel or two. That creates kind of an emboss effect of those layers which again works pretty well to create some textures.

Hope this helps :) Always a little difficult to explain it in textform!

A bit like bumpmapping... that's a good idea. Thank you for explaining. :)

Love the lighting and the perspective is fantastic

Thank you very much! :)
