The circular texture is killer. Did you draw this digitally or on paper? (maybe it was a pre-existing texture). Feels so handmade, more interesting than purely digital (even if it is digital, haha). Wicked.
Thanks Everyone :) I hope to make a print of this one.
@Rob I generally sketch first, scan, and do all layout/trace work in illustrator. I also make all patterns in illustrator, then carry everything to pshop for some color and texturing.

Craig, are you publishing tutorials anywhere on how you pull off this textured stuff? You really need to.

Yea, I'd love to see something on how to do this too. Even a posting with screen grabs along the way would be super helpful. Beautiful job.

Sweet! Love the illustration and treatment. Especially the split in the middle of the bisons face, love stuff like that. Got it bigger anywhere?
