      Hello, and Happy New Year.

      It's been a VERY long time since I last posted here, but good to see some familiar names still producing amazing work.

      The main reason for my absence is that SketchUp is no longer a major part of my work, although I do still dabble from time to time.

      Anyway, I thought I'd share some stuff from my latest personal illustration project: The Dragons of Wales. Lots more info and explanation on my website: http://www.dragonsofwales.com and also on Twitter and Facebook, if any of you ever venture over there πŸ˜‰

      A mixture of traditional media, SketchBook Pro and Photoshop.

      Hope some of you will enjoy this, and thanks for looking.

              Beautiful work! I admire your ability to help bring the image to life with background and light. Great color too!

                Love 'em!!

                I have a wall that fb4 would look awesome on.

                As always, your stuff is jaw dropping.

                What are you using in place of SU these days for blocking out?

                  Thanks Solo.

                  If I have to do any complex 3D blocking, I still use SketchUp - nothing else comes close for that job. But for simple perspective layouts, SketchBook Pro has some really neat little perspective sketching tools. There's a video here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngLhGySVYLQ It means I spend less time switching between packages, which is always a good thing. It took me a while to overcome my natural aversion to anything 'AutoDesk'(!) but I have to say, SketchBook Pro is a great tool for my purposes.
