I always begin a piece with rough thumbnail sketches on paper and refine from there. I don't want to get bogged down with the details, and I concentrate on the more important, larger forms.
The next step is to refine everything; fleshing out the world with preliminary sketches of different parts of the illustration. For this piece I scanned in different sketches and drew over them in Photoshop. I drew changes in new layers, flattened the layers, scribbled more, and then repeated the process.
Although my original concept featured a horse-like mount, I felt that it was too conventional for this piece. The steed became a bird, which needed even more concept sketching. Photos of ostrich legs were found to help my sketch. One important principle of concept design is to borrow heavily from the world around you. It makes things more realistic, and resonates more with the viewer. When all of the sketch-work was solid, I printed the final drawings out at 11x20 inches to copy onto 55lb Tracing Vellum. I traced the figures and background separately, the characters at a larger size than the background because there are more details to capture.
