This was made after watching the episode of Lost titled "Dead Is Dead". I had some digital painting techniques I wanted to mess around with,
so Ben got to be my test subject.

This originally started out as a dark brown and white colored pencil drawing on gray Canson paper and gradually morphed into this as
I started painting it in Photoshop. The textures used in this digital painting are a combination of ones I made on my own
(by painting and scanning ink washes on watercolor paper) and textures from CG Textures.
The final picture measures 9" x 12". This illustration also received a Daily Deviation award from deviantArt.

Completed in April of 2009.
