Artist Pastiches and Practice

Results of using tutorials/techniques/just trying to imitate artists I really like here on Artstation. Thanks to those artists so willing to share their techniques!

This alien was painted using a series of tuts by the delightful Patri Balanovsky. A bit of a rough go, but I learned a lot! This fellow is from a planet where they really like the early 90's windbreaker color palette.
