An update:

In the Works: Surfing Fairie

In contrast, I went to a sunny happy pic. One is a quick value, color study, the other an underpainting.

Here it is: Sulee and LeoPardine. I am overall disappointed in the way it turned out. It appears to be painted with mud. I think it shows my weaknesses--I really need to work with color better, lighting, and atmospheric effects. That is supposed to be fog in the background, not grey cotton. I may do another color study in photoshop--then take another crack at this one but not in the near future.

This painting is now available at ebay: http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

Sulee and LeoPardine:

I have been working on some paintings so the posts will be slower in coming. Here are some details of one that is almost finished.

I am working on some fairies and dragons for the next posts!

In the Works:

Value and light source study for LeoPardine painting.

Prehistoric Arboreal Cat

Been working on this for a while now. Special thanks for fantasy artist, Christopher Moeller, who helped me establish a light source for the painting and for all his encouragement and patience. I met Christopher at the Comic Con this year and peppered him with questions for almost an hour.

This is about 12x7.5, acrylic on canvas paper and lots and lots of glazes.

And here is a drawing study I forgot to post.
