Painterly Pug Project: Jake the one eyed Pug

My painterly style is a unique way of painting with pixels. Many digital artists rely heavily on photoshop filters alone to achieve their results. There is nothing wrong with filters and we use a variety of them in all of our artwork. Where my painterly style differs is in the addition of hand drawn lines and painting smudges that create a really rich and texturally layered look. All of my drawing and painting is created by hand with a pressure sensitive electronic tablet by Wacom.

Below are some very basic screen shots of Jake the pug's artwork in progress. The actual original art file has dozens of layers and way too many steps to be shown here. I am presenting just a few images to give the viewer a very basic understanding of my process. Be sure and scroll down to see all of the image shots.
