Digital Artist Rodney Pike

Hello Rodney Pike 
I can't hold onto this question any more: I am from the traditional school and do alot more digital work lately . I like to see the brush strokes and drawing lines once and awhile. I consider your work to be very cool and exaggeration top notch. I then think to my self it is sad if it is all digital, is there anything drawn prior, sketching involved? I would really like to see a post on your blog of some of your traditional painted work Oils, Acrylic, Gouache, Pen  & Ink,  Water colors, pencils, and pastels. I Know you are making money and why mess with a good thing like a modern day collage artist! How long does it take you to do the digital work compared to more digital painted Illustrations. I messed around doing what you did just for reference for a final Illustration project.
I just hope you don't take me the wrong way I am just amazed that people spend hours trying to render something and then there are very talented people like you how do really cool work! No hard feelings just some advice from an artist to artist switch up and try to paint what you photo manipulate. I think it would be a cool change for you. Have a great Weekend! Peace!

Up close of my Pen & Ink Process.

I can't show the whole piece yet and only close ups because it is for a gift tomorrow for a 50th birthday party. Here I played around on my phone while drawing in Pen & Ink. I really wish the client was convinced to make it more portrait like with out the Real blacks when using pen & Ink. Sometimes due to time and budget you just have to do the best with what you got, and just go for it. I will show more on Sunday when the party is done.

My progress on a Illustrated City Map

This project is really testing every patience I have in me. It is not just the work, but also the pressure from the client. The client wants it finished in another week and he is betting every thing he has on it. I could get more into detail about the situation but it is personal, an I rather just stick to business and not get involved in other peoples personal life. This has a great opportunity to be very successful if I do it right so I am trying to make it more a modern/classic look with the more realistic map and the Illustrated Items that will be around such as:
here some of the ideas of what I have left to paint, not including logos etc.
Client said:
> Now as a reminder:
> You have to have two air-planes with banners.
> You have to have fishing boats with people fishing
> You have to have para-sailing.
> You have to have people on the beach.
> You have to have a trolly
> You have to have a taxi
> You have to have a shuttle van "Sky Blue" with wings in the air.
> You have to have Bay News Nine - lower right hand corner
> You have to have Treasure Island Chamber of Commerence.
> 
> I'll STOP.....
Ha Ha The glory of freelance.
I am planning on doing every thing separate and then attach them on the map.
Well if anyone has any ideas how to make this work a little better as far as placement. I am all ears. Have a great night and sorry for all the jabbering!
   

the second is both Treasure Island and St Pete beach combined. It was way to long and too small for details of clients logos.
