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?

Adventures in Style

I've been experimenting lately with different styles, doing anything that fancies me.  I know I change my mind a lot when it comes to art...so here are two little paintings I did today.  One is acrylic and ink, and the other is watercolor, acrylic, ink and charcoal.  They were fun, but I'm not sure how I feel about them yet.

The Sisters in (Some) Color

I've been playing with some color options, and here is what I finally chose....blue and yellow make for great undertones, eh?  Of course, there is a long way to go before I reach a final product that I'm content with.

Watercolor and Ink, Gem of the Cosmos

So, I was playing around with colors and ink, and this is what came of it.  I wanted to test out some patterns and colors and see what kind of drippy designs I could create.  I'm not quite sure what it is, or what I want it to be, but here goes.

Umbrella Bunny and Masked Bird

Here is a little illustration I did many months ago that I did in ink and watercolor.  It's of a furry hat and red polka dot shirt wearing bunny being a bit perplexed by his/her masked bird friend.
