A little bit ago I did a digital painting of a cherry tree. This an acrylic painting of it, 16x20. It took about 4 hrs. and I took  a picture approximately every hour.

Monsters 2012

Exactly one year ago I made a post called monsters.  featuring these guys...

... and I was inspired to see what else I could do with them. Here was the outcome.

I don't think you ever stop growing as an artist and it was fun to take something old and updating it.

color!

sorry for the quality, blurry and all skewed. limited lighting. eventually they'll be scanned and colored.

Three days off meant lots of doodling and I get my new computor tomorrow, so hopefully I can get to coloring soon. Oh and I cut and pasted these sketches together with Paint on a 10in netbook and it was painful lol...come on...new computor!
