It all started with some basic sketches from my buddy Chris.

I took his notes and started sketching the basic layout to give myself an idea of how it would all fit together.

Once I had the basics down I decided to move it into SketchUp for better accuracy.

Once I was happy with the model and had approval from Chris I exported an image and started in on the final artwork.

Aside from the first sketch this project was 100% digital so editing and adding in elements or tweaking things was very easy to do.

Once the lineart was complete it was time to throw down the base color flats.

Now the fun part starts. Rendering colors is tied with inking for my favorite step of the process.

Once all the renders are complete I like to go in and add what’s my friends have dubbed “The Warlick Glow”. Evidently I just love atmospheric effects. I think they can add a lot to a piece.

With the artwork done I saved out a version and made a giclee print to send to my buddy. I then went back and added in his annotations so the builder would know exactly what he wanted and where.
