Tutorials

I did this sketch specifically for someone who was asking how I created the blurred wing effect on the slightly infamous Butcher Faerie.

I actually revised my technique a little bit, since I sort of hosed how I did it initially and wound up losing the original hand-drawn wasp wings in an over-zealous layer merge.

I do wish Photoshop had an active blur filter preview; perhaps I just don't know about it, or there's a plugin for it?

Anyway, the tutorial is a gigantic image for proper submission to Deviantart, so if you're curious, click on the picture or link above. :)
