Tomb Raider Contest Progress

There have been some people, understandably, that believe my piece to be nothing more than a photograph with a filter added to it and also some who just want to know how it was created. I have posted here screenshots from my progress that I took to see how I would do with a new type of illustration style. I hope this will not only stop people from falsely saying things about my work but hopefully it will also help others to see how I created the piece and inspire them to try a new style as well. I was influenced by Mondo posters especially the works of Tyler Strout, Martin Ansin and Ken Taylor. This illustration is based off a photograph I took of a friend for copyright reasons and also so I could get the stance correct. Thanks to everyone for the support
