Using a Wacom tablet with combination of Corel Painter X and Photoshop CS. It took me about 3 or 4 hours to complete which is fairly quick.<br /><br />It looks a bit more photographic than I intended, I was originally going for a more painterly look, but it's easy to get carried away and continue adding detail.<br /><br />I have attached a close-up <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h143/hippobite/selmaclose.jpg">here</a> for anyone who might be interested in seeing the brush strokes.
