I've been asked a lot recently for tutorials of how I paint. I have a series of blog entries I did a year ago that shows my prep work before the final painting, ie: thumbnails, final sketch,etc. You can see that here:

As for my finished painting technique, I have a time lapse video of painting I did for charity at Blizzcon 2009. The video is an example of one of the ways I work. Since this was done at an event and had to be finished before I left, there are lots of short-cuts and rushed sections of the painting. Normally I would take 3-4 times as long on an illustration taking more care in each area of the painting. Here is the link to the video:
