Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, sometimes using a mirroring tool. The Wave is based on Hokusai's famous print, the boat is based on reference, and the cannon as well. The rest is all improvised. First I make a sketch with a pencil brush on a separate layer then I use a hard round 9pt brush with 40% smoothing to create the final version. I add a 9pt stroke effect on some of the layers to make it more readable, and then — after rasterizing and merging the layers — I edit some of the places where the stroke seems unnatural or sharp. I then move around the separate objects — like the dolphins, the ships, the cannon, the tentacles, the wave, and the coral — to create a harmonious composition. This is the rough draft. I also have one where I added some noise to all the black surfaces, some scratches and a Colour Burn gradient to make it some less digital — more handmade.

Marlboro Gold, and yes, Disranno is nice. I mixed it with Merlot and Gluhwein and Beer. Fortunately, I didn't get sick.
