Unleashed

Used the last painting as a starter for this one. I think the last one is more successful in a few ways but I learned a ton on this one and had fun detailing; something I rarely do. Still, quite a few things about this one I don't like and could noodle forever, but I'm ready to move on.

The dog has let the human roam free of his leash on this one.



Edit: Let me squeeze one more in here. Quickie remix from this last one. Good fun. Thought about adding a figure but thought it would ruin it. I like this one actually :)

Wanted to announce the launch of GorillaArtfare.com, a new art collective blog of which I am a member. You'll probably see the same stuff from me that you do here, but you don't want to miss out on what the other members are posting :) Should prove to be a sweet little hub. (Thanks to Fed and Vic!)

  1. Nice! Your landscapes remind me of David Casper Friedreich, they have the same feel for me.

    It was good meeting you at the workshop. I feel like I should have already known your work!
