In this tutorial, we’ll over over how I made the Druid picture here.
With 12 steps, we’ll go over removing the background, adding more realistic hair, color correction, adding textures, shadows and hightlights, all to make a simple figurine pop out and come to life!
Starting off our first interview here on MentalMirage, I have talked to Vitaly Samarin Alexius, about his workflow in his digital paintings, inspiration, and much more! Join us in a slightly different, and humorous, view on the world of digital painting!

I might end up doing a little tutorial on it, as the techniques required arent that hard.
To get an idea where it started, take a look at this:

With that said, I’m sorry I havent updated a lot lately.

I promise things will start going up in the near future!
A quick and personal “three cheers for Barack Obama, the latest President of the United States of America!”
Here’s to hoping for good things to come!
Here’s a bit of random footage I have from Tokyo! Everything from the Imperial Gardens (open only twice a year), kareoke, new years celebration at “Train Bar”, Illumination in Roppongi, the huge masses gathering in Harajuku for the post-christmas discount sales, and more!
Support a starving (no, not really) artist and buy some prints!
In this third installement of the “Inspiration” posts, we’ll take a look at 20 wonderful and talented digital painters!
So it’s time we take a look at how I made the “Meditation” picture. In this tutorial I’ll go on about adding a lot of light effects, some textures to those light effects, and some nifty colorizing makeup!
As with former tutorials, small details are left out. Beginners beware!
