Hostile

James “Jim” Davis lived what he considered “an impossible dream” as he piloted a B-24, as part of the 8th Air Force, on nearly thirty missions in the European Theatre during World War II.

In this 4.5 hour beast of a tutorial, artist Brad Rigney (Cryptcrawler) takes a rough thumbnail idea and carries it all the way through to it's beautiful and highly polished finish. The demonstration begins with Brad talking about his initial idea and then painting in the background. It then shifts gears with a separate mini-tutorial where he clearly demonstrates the specific techniques which he uses throughout the rest of the tutorial. During the rest of the video Brad openly shares his process while adding a healthy dose of wisdom, common sense, and humor. Topics covered include composition, lighting, mood, texture, character design, and more.Brad tells the viewer that he's looking forward to seeing what people do with his techniques, and we at ConceptArt.Org are looking forward to the results.Happy painting.
