The Beast

Finally, this beast of a painting is done! For some reason it was such a struggle to get it completed. I think my patience is just shot.

Here's a couple of weird angle shots for you guys!

Backgrounds

I do not love painting backgrounds. Usually I am too excited over the main subject of a painting to fool with any elaborate background. Lately, though, I have been trying to put my characters into some kind of setting. I've spent a lot of time working on the background of my latest painting for the Hybrid Moments show in September. Most of the time was spent pondering over how I wanted the background to look, feel, and what techniques to try to make it interesting for me. Last night I put the finishing touches on the background and am quite pleased with the results. Actually, I'm excited! So, I thought I would share a few photos of the work in progress. Tonight I will be working on the character, Codzilla. I can't wait to get started! And yes, the final piece will include a beam of atomic fire breath. Please excuse the sub par photos.

Background early stage:

Flying Cats...

This painting was suppose to be included in the last installment of the Flying Cats show at The Flying Cat. Unfortunately, the gallery & boutique will be closed from now through most of August for some much needed renovations, so the exhibition has come to a close early. Because of this, I decided to share the new painting here. ENJOY! The title has yet to be decided. The painting can be found at The Flying Cat for a short time when the store opens back up, and will be available for purchase!
