Big Daddy - Time Lapse

This is a little gif animation I put together from the various saved files I created during the development of my "Who's Ya Daddy" picture. [link]

In most cases if I do a concept for a drawing I will then start from scratch on a blank canvas when I start on the real version. This was the first time that I just painted directly onto my concept art. Near the end of the animation you see that I changed the bars around his head. That was the only time I used more than 1 layer. Until then everything was painted like a real painting I suppose. But after I "finished" I loaded up the actual game and noticed how different the bars really were so I had to paint the old ones out. Not wanting to go through that again, I made a temporary layer in neon green that outlined where the bars should go. Then I made another layer and painted them in properly and deleted the guideline layer. After that it was just some final detailing.
