Awesome as usual. I don't think I've ever asked. Do you usually finish in one sitting? How long does a drawing usually take?

This is amazing, Jeff. What was the final time on this video, and are you doing a digital dolley in there at one point, or is someone moving the camera?

What can I say, Jeff? This is awesome, as always. Well done.
Is the original for sale?
David Geister ... Thanks David, the original 'was' up for sale, but I had an early offer from a buyer off eBay, so I just went ahead and sold it.
I am doing prints of this piece too, they're suppose to be here on the 21st.
If anyone's interested they can pre- order them now ... http://goo.gl/ekuvXW

I am glad it sold - though I am not surprised.
Great work Jeff, how long does a piece take you from start to finish?
My times vary. Sometimes I can plow through a painting and sometimes I can't paint for days. If you do experience artist block, what do you do to get around it? Keep up the good work man, great stuff.

HorseQueenDiamond ... LOL, thanks for the comment :)
Art-Eli ... Thank you

That is a wonderful illustrative style you've adopted for this picture... (pardon me if that reads ill-informed, I'm yet to browse your other works to get a better/generalized appreciation of your techniques... which I'll do now with pleasure). This one is reminiscent of the great Illustration masters of the past.
great

I watched your video later, and then I watched the Russel Crowe video, which was cool because you answered all the questions that were in my head while watching the first video. I never really thought of using pencils on top of acrylics. But watching you sharpen a pencil made me nervous, lol.

Finely crafted.

Thanks for putting these works in progress videos! Sorry if you've answered this already some where, do you gesso the boards first? how do you keep the acrylics from ending up plasticy? does the spray painting help give it that matte appearance so that the pencils will still work on top?
StephieArt ... Thanks Stephie. I don't gesso the boards, I just like the surface of the raw MDF.
I'm not sure about the plasticy question, because the acrylics do feel very 'plascticy' when I use them. (not sure what you mean?)
The last question ... possibly? I am able to draw on top of the acrylics, but when I paint a wash with a brush, I'm able to draw on those acrylics as well. I don't think the airbrush spray really changes anything with the paint. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have problems drawing on them?
Thanks for the questions
-Jeff

You got some epic artistic talent man! Think big!

Yeah some times if the acrylic gets too thick. It'll either tear or just won't get good marks. However I'm usually painting on paper and not the mdf boards, but I have run into that same problem when using them. As for plastic-y. I don't know how else to explain it other than it gets this high sheen even when I haven't added a gloss medium.

Wow! Way cool! I bet you have heard of the 501st. The Storm Troopers? My big brother Dan is in a Legion from Michigan. Big Sci-fi guy. I recently moved to Arizona. I miss him terribly. In 1992, I was stationed in Iceland, and Dan would write me letters. I'm going to share with you two of his envelopes. Im new at this social media thing so it will be a separate post. I'm thinking you might appreciate them. Watching your video made me feel like I was in high school, watching him work on a project! Sorry I'm talking your ear off, but I miss him and he was a HUGE Blade Runner fan. ')

Love that movie. A real classic
Sean Chess ... Thanks Sean!
StephieArt ... Actually, I understand a little better now. I watched a few of your videos and I notice you put down your acrylics quite a bit more thickly than I do.
Mine are more like washes. I'm always painting with quite a bit of water in my paint, so the board doesn't have much paint build up, and the surface probably doesn't end up quite a slick as yours does.
I like you channel and your videos, you do some great stuff. I'll keep watching :)
Jennifer Krueger ... Thanks for the wonderful comment Jennifer. I'm glad my video brought you good thoughts of your brother ... I love comments like this :)

Hello! Oh yeah in that style it definitely ends up thick and rubbery. I rather expect that especially on the canvas boards. Also thanks! ;) Going to be experimenting with some more sanded gesso paper. The testing has worked some and I can't wait to try it on a real piece. I just need to find a gallery with original fantasy paintings so I can gawk at them! Everyone else seems to have such smoothness but then maybe it is just the boards or planks they are using. they appear very popular among fantasy sci artists. Thanks again for answering my question! :)
