Not Adrian, but from an old Gamespy interview with Kevin Cloud:

"I used DeluxePaint for years. We didn't have an animation program. So we tested our animations by toggling between the page and spare page."

"With Quake III, I put aside DeluxePaint for pixel work to use Photoshop. If I'm creating an image from scratch I'll work in layers in a manner similar to the process used for normal painting, starting off with a pencil sketch and then painting in color. This is a process that is probably followed by most artists that use Photoshop. The first layer is a grayscale image similar to a pencil sketch. I'll follow up with a layer for shadowing and a third for adding little details and highlights. If I like what I have, I'll start working in the color. I still need to work on the addition of color. I have a tendency to rely too heavily on the underlying grayscale image. As a result my colors are probably too muted and muddy."
