working the sketches up fromloads of reference pics and tracing. Then colour sampling from a bank of colour swatches and photo samples. But I tend to paint digitally alot like I did when in oils (although there was no way I could get the light or colour as good as this without computer help). Painter X definetly makes me look far more talented than I actually am. always try to stick to Greg Hildebrandt's cool shadows/warm light rule too (Hildebrandt was the guy along with his brother who did that original star wars poster)
all the Deri Air stuff is done with teh same technique. but it's a looser style and far more enjoyable
I sent a long sincere e-mail to a well known 'trad-digital' artist in the US asking for advice on brush technique a while back, who amazingly, not only replied but sent me the customised brushes he uses to load into my palette
