I don't like to spend too much time in one spot or area. I move to other parts of the legs, or the arms and chest, etc., trying to build up the figure evenly. As you can see in this closeup, the figure is really starting to take shape and become more three-dimensional. The other thing I'm trying to do is get the textures right, as Hellspont's chest is a golden metallic armor, while the rest of his garb I'm trying to paint with a leather look.

Well, I just opended up the original WildC.A.T.S. Trade Paperback, and found out I've screwed up big time. I had the colors backwards for the arms and legs. After cursing a long blue streak, I just selected the arms, and using the Hue/Saturation command, with the Colorize Button turned on, I adjusted the blue color over to the proper green color. Then I selected the legs, and used the Hue/Saturation command with the Colorize option on, to change the color to what it was supposed to be.

Next, I repainted new, colored highlights on the arms and legs, and corrected the anatomy on the shoulders.

This screw-up is another reason I work on layers. It makes it easy to make global color changes like this without re-painting the whole thing. Of course, if I'd kept the book open by my computer as a reference, I wouldn't have made this mistake.

However, I don't like looking at other people's work when I'm doing artwork. You can be influenced by their style, or worse, if you're using another artist's work as a reference, end up copying or using their mistakes. As you can see above, I can make mistakes on my own, without adding someone else's into the mix.
