AHHH DUDE THIS IS EPIC!!! Love your style and everything! I've been looking through your gallery and CRAZY awesome! I was just wondering what brush did you use? Cause it looks like some sort of squared brush? How did you make it looks so "squarey" and flat? cause whenever I try and digitally paint flat surfaces it looks really werid, cause I use a circle brush and the layering becomes... just -NOT FLAT. Also did you paint everything in black and white then go over it with color? or did you just paint straight colour? Lol sorry for all the questiosn BUT YOUR WORK IS AWESOME AND YOUR AWESOME. OKCOOLTHANKSBYE.
Totally alright to ask questions. I'll answer them the best I can:
To be honest, I still struggle with getting hard edges in digital painting. I actually used rounded brushes for most of this, and I used selections to definen the edges. The lasso tool is your friend!
The texture comes from some chalky/rocky brushes.
A lot of it is based on what goes on top of what. In retrospect, I should have drawn a more accurate perspective grid, and now at least, I could definitely add in a lot more detail.

To me one of the best evocative fantasy books out there. I'd heard about it for years, only recently read it. Buy a copy and read it. It'll be worth it, I promise.
