  I got a Cintiq last year, and I haven't looked back since!
• Corel Painter 2015
  I use this program to create the raw art. Its imitation of traditional media is uncanny. I do my sketches and painting directly on the Cintiq.
• Adobe Photoshop CC
  I use this to finish my art. It's the best for color balancing, titling, and layering effects. The monthly fee helps you avoid the initial investment required by an outright purchase.
• AzPainter2 and AzDrawing
  Barely translated from the Japanese, these two small art programs pack a major punch, especially when you consider they're free! I've used AzPainter2 for inking because it has a line smoothing tool that helps prevent line wobble. That's something neither Painter nor Photoshop have.
• Sculptris
  Speaking of free, Sculptris is an awesome 3D modeling package that handles very much like clay.
• ZBrush 4R6
  What can I say, the ZRemesher feature alone is worth the price of admission in this amazing 3D software.
• 3D Studio Max
  My go-to software for 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering.

There is much more to include in this gallery. As co-owner and art director of a very small company, I ended up doing much of the art and animation myself. There is a ton of in-game and promotional art from the many games and add-ons we did. We ran Ashen Empires, a sprite-based fantasy MMO, as well as created a number of iphone games including Underworlds a fantasy RPG.

This gallery is mostly concept art for MMOs we wanted to do. I think the Boot Hill one would have worked pretty well, but I really like my lion guy.
