Who Needs Sleep?

SO, I have gotten about 2 hours sleep and am up and awake and I guess I will post an update on the art. "Hern (Lord of the Spiral...or Spiral Path...or something else entirely)", about the top 1/3rd, colored, but not done. There will be a ring/wreath of Oak leaves around him and a landscape background inside the ring. By the way, I LOVE how his face looks now...if I can just get the body and background to be as good for me, it will be great!

Here We Go Again

I have lots that needs done, I have deadlines, and so what am I working on? Something else completely of course. Several years ago an artist friend whose work is amazing and who is much more successful than I, admired one of my pictures and commented that she should commission me to do a Hern picture for her sometime. SO...I did one, I liked it, but it did not strikee her fancy and it eventually sold to someone else. So now she posts a picture of one of the actors from the "True Blood" series and I say "maybe I should do a Hern based on him?" She likes the idea, so I am doing jut that...It is taking way more time than I should spend on it and I alternately love and hate how it is coming out. So here is a small section of it (the top 3rd), in a very early stage. Hern, Lord of the Spiral" WIP. 

Two In One

The two pics done for the Nekomage contest seen together! Since he said the Dragon aspects of his character are hidden or invisible, I figured the first picture is how his character looks outwardly to most, but how he really looks is the second picture.

New Pennsic Calendars are here

Well once again I have done a Pennsic to Pennsic (Aug. to Aug.) calendar and once again I had them printed through Endeavor Printing http://www.endeavorprinting.com/ . I can not believe how FAST they printed them this year and the quality is great as usual!! So if you are an artist and want a book of your art or a calendar of your art printed, I can NOT recommend these people highly enough!!

I Print a limited number of these and they sell out most every year. They are $20 each, so if you want one you should get it ASAP!

Second Done First

OK, here is the finished second picture for the FA contest mentioned in my last two posts. I love the Dragon/Tiger hybrid idea and the overall finished picture looks good to me. We will see what  Nekomage who is holding the contest and who owns the character thinks of this version! "Dragon Tiger Hybrid, Nekomage", 8 1/2 x 11, Acrylic, watercolor colored pencil, Pro White and a time bit of Prisma Color on Canson board. Prints available. Picture 42.
