Treats!


Below are some teasers of a project I'm working on, entitled 'The Green Man' along with some other things. For now, I'll keep it hush til I feel the need to reveal the juicy details!














Below are the final rendered boards as a part sequence of the Green Man Project. To do these I digitized my initial inkwork, polishing them in Corel Painter for a better finish.
