Almost completely digital painted objects with the exception of two thirds the water, all text, the entire sky, some really small details and other things. The sky was about 3 layers in whole for extra coloring effects on the objects. I made this for the exact reason that I was sick of trying to make the average half-assed, cluttered, nonsense signature. The simplicity of the moment and the evil looking armored man invading the scene I believe are its best qualities. Although, I think I could have done better on the castle. It took me like 3-5 hours. I lost track. Maybe more or less, but I doubt by that much.
Oh, heres the digital painting of the Hooded Knight.
Note: I wasn't looking for very many fancy photoshop effects in this at all.
