BIRD OF PARADISE
This is an illustration I did for Wizards of the Coast. Alas, the days of paint and canvas are now behind me. I did this one on the computer using Photoshop. It's funny in a way, I can paint on the computer, but I still don't like to draw on the computer.
The client asked to have the images look as traditional as possible, without computer effects and textures, so it's pretty traditional looking, despite being a digital painting. It's so practical doing things digitally. If you save in layers, changes are easier, and mailing your work in is as simple as sitting at your computer drinking coffee while you upload your images onto a server.
The job assignment was to illustrate a fictional, colorful bird that creates a rainbow with its tail. This colorful bird was to bring contrast to the drab/gothic city.
Wizards printed this card as a much-coveted FOIL card!

This looks great, Moe! If you had painted this a few months ago, it could have been Cha-cha bird. Great photoshop work.

Hey Marcelo, this is awsome! Love the detailed work of the background and then the beautifuly painted bird to contrast it. You are, without a doubt, a Jedi Master.

Excellent colors and control in Photoshop!
Very nice! I really like how the colorful bird stands out from the dark colored background. Do you think you can make a high resolution version?
