Awe! I love the creatures, they're actually really cute!

Also, this video was really inspiring to me on how I can improve my digital painting skills.

[QuixoticFranckey]

I could never use photoshop like that !

[Defjeff01]

I absolutely loved the vid! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm currently exploring this fantastic art medium also.

Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

[kevinbrok]

Awesome.

Do u use a drawing tablet or a mouse?

[Marrilliams]

he uses a tablet im sure most if not all use a wacom tablet.

[MikeCorriero]

Marrilliams is correct.

Sorry for not responding Kevinbrok, I sometimes forget to check my youtube account. I'm using a Wacom Intuos 2, 9x12 inch tablet. I had done a few pieces with the mouse early on but it KILLS YOUR HAND. It's how I ended up with Tendinitis which even 5 years later still bothers me from time to time.

[Marrilliams]

Yeah I use a Wacom bamboo tablet. Thats sweet now I know how your tearing it up. :) Man thats a bummer about the tendinitis glad its getting better though.

[immortaliserwow]

it gets nasty when these things feed doesnt it :P

[EyelessEntity]

you shouldn't have disabled ratings because now you'll miss another five stars ;)

Well, awesome picture, and even more awesome when you compare the beginning eith the end. Amazing..

[HikarisLicht]

it's... fantastic.

I can't say something

[TheBlueThread]

Well, I do not want to meet that monster in a dark alley.

[MikeCorriero]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I try to answer questions when I can, I just forget to check the comments (but I reset it to notify me when someone leaves a comment again).

Thanks,

Mike C -

[warml]

when he starts cleaning up and adding the details, im just happy inside

[xmentosx]

To me it looked good enough after two minutes already. I guess that's what happens to me when I'm arty, I'm done in half an hour and I spend the next week trying to figure out what to add.

[aldoranada]

it looks like a penis lol..but way more cooler

[NoNameDR]

Wow! That's a really cool character! And AMAZING coloring! You're really talented!

[DRENETO]

OMG. can't believe it

[Samuelthemule]

Hey mike, was good talking to you yesterday :D

See you on ca man. Keep rockin'

[KashimashiGal]

ive been wanting to buy photoshop is there any free types or like can u download ot please help. thnx

[VideoGame420]

you can get CS3 or CS2 by downloading torrent from google and it worked for me i'v been using it for 2 month now.

[KashimashiGal]

is it good? and like the one in the vid?

[daedrick]

whatever the program you pirate, it wont make you draw well.

[Nms1s]

what the hell are those creatures what u are painting? your own or from some game?

nice work!

[MikeCorriero]

Thanks,

They are all my own original designs, none of these are from games or anywhere else, just personal artwork.

[browneps]

@MikeCorriero i draw completely from my imagination, like you, but it never works out like your paintings!!

[Algae998]

nice painting and good use of the textured brushes.

when youre painting, do you use the tip pressure more so for the brush size or opacity..or both combined?

I have difficulty getting the smooth transition you show.

[MikeCorriero]

Thanks,

Basically I use the [ and ] shortcut keys to shrink or enlarge a brush I'm using much quicker, and then I have the double click button on the pen set to be the color dropper. The wacom pen is set to a firm pressure sensitivity and the brush opacity setting is always on when I paint.

[Algae998]

cool, that makes more sense now. I managed to find the setting for the firmness control..helps a lot.

[Xsuprio]

*sigh* It's times like this I feel like I'm waisting my time as an artist. Very nice. Though, this is all fantasy and you can pretty much do what you want. Do you have any vids where you color humans... preferably women?

[Kalbiross]

Yo Were do you get all the Sweet pics ? I want ém two =]

[alexxjee]

you should make some tutorials mate. I think a lot of people can lern form you.

[yoporrahh]

Thanks

[MikeCorriero]

You could just use a mouse, but it won't have the pressure sensitivity. It would probably cause more strain on your hand if you used a mouse for an extended period of time. That's what causes tendinitis and carpal tunnel for some artists.

[yoporrahh]

Sorry for this stupid question, but is it possible to do the colouring without a tablet?

[MikeCorriero]

Thanks Garrick- I've been doing this since I was 5, but digital art since around 23 years old. I'm 26 right now...

[garrickBOI]

wow this is great how long have u been doin this? ive been doin this kinda stuff for like 2 years but the detail u achieve is much more advanced than my stuff

[MikeCorriero]

christismellow- I'm actually going to have a workshop tutorial at the end of this month in issue #023 of ImagineFX Magazine and there will be a time laps video showing the process. IFX provided the video recording device which is how I'm making these, it's called Camtasia.

[christismellow]

Thanks i will be waiting! It takes a long time for IFX to get to Hawaii

[christismellow]

great work! when are you going to teach a new lesson in Imagine FX! How did you record yourself working?

[MikeCorriero]

Thanks Dawn ;)

donalfall Thanks

Millaz07- Thanks, it's Photoshop CS2, I'm using a wacom intuos2 9 x 12 inch tablet and just have windows theme set to the original default in case you're wondering.

[millaz07]
