This is great. I've found that on occasion too where I'll shoot reference and something gets lost either in composition or movement and so I'll go from the sketch instead. One of my favorite lessons from art school (a million years ago) was an illustration teacher saying "It's more important that it looks right than it is right." Great work.

I can never get enough of this guy's work. Good work, Greg, and also SciFiBookClub. When I send pictures for my friends, I have started listing some of the 'musical influences' for each piece, so I thought that part was good, too. Very cool.
