Sunday D&D character illustration: Druid Riding a Lizard

Photoshop speed painting to illustrate a 'Dungeons and Dragons' player's character. This one gave me a chance to work in a limited color palette, which I haven't done very much.
Her weapon is the Totem of Thorns from the D&D book Heroes of the Feywild.

I skip a lot of steps to do these speed paintings, which may not be such a good habit. For normal painting my process usually goes: thumbnail > sketch > ink > color composite > base colors > render shading. But for speed I make a quick value painting in black and white and then jump straight into color... that's it, just two phases. Gotta get it done and move onto the next piece.
