Eric emailed me a week ago asking if a time-lapse video of him making an alter was something I would be interested in, and I lunged at the opportunity. Alters are fascinating and seeing it take shape would be awesome. So, here it isâenjoy! â Trick

It's good to be providing some more content after a brief hiatus following my last article. Today, Iâm going to mix it up and show you an alter from start to finish using a time-lapse video. A friend commissioned me to alter his Commander Vorosh, the Hunter into Predator. So without further ado, here it is:

I was a bit more painterly with this piece, which is a result of several factors. One, Iâm working from several photos I Photoshopped together as opposed to one drawn reference. Two, I made up a lot of the fine details in the body and the entire background. Overall, Iâm fairly pleased with the result. Itâs always nice to mix up styles. In art, youâre never finished learning. Staying well-versed keeps you sharp.

Again, Iâm using my basic carbon-copy technique I outlined here. My lovely fiancÃ© helped me do some rough cuts to shorten the overall time and highlight the most important steps. I hope you enjoyed! As always, leave your comments below or contact me at:
