Candy Thief

Finally, I have finished it.  I didn't think it would take this long (and it wasn't supposed to) but I was busy with other projects and...well...gah, that's just how it is ;) I'm very pleased with how this painting came out, but there are still a few things I might work on a bit later.

Enjoy!:)

More Fantasy for You

As I said on the video, I was inspired by a pretty awesome caterpillar that, as it turns out, could have turned up in my backyard a few years ago O.O.  Don't get me wrong, I don't mind bugs (well junebugs are just plain scary...so maybe I'll paint some as therapy) but something about this caterpillar that looked like a stand-in for one of the grub bugs about to be eaten by Pumbaa, just screamed poisonous....hence my apprehension at wanting to pick it up, as the kid in the photo did.  Well, anyway, this illustration was done in watercolor mixed with acrylic, and finished up with ink.  On the video I hadn't quite finished it, but didn't feel like waiting around to ponder its creative shortcomings and just uploaded it.

So, here is the absolutely finished piece.  I actually really like how it turned out, so what do you guys think?

A Panda Fantasy

Ok, so I know this may seem a bit off from the paintings I have been showing on here, but after you take a look at the ink page, I'm sure you'll realize this is pretty mild.....all things considered.  This new piece that's in the works has a panda, yes I said it, a panda.  Not only a panda, but a person riding a panda.  Let that sink in a bit, and while you're at it, realize you shouldn't get your hopes up about seeing the finished painting.  Why? Well, because I said so.  In the unfortunate event that I find myself hating the painting how it turns out, I'll might consider not posting it.  But, don't worry, cause who knows if that'll even happen...


So here is some of the work in progress, including an initial doodle to get the idea down and some photos of how the painting is coming along.  Enjoy:)
