Entry 3
The Magi
9”x12"
Micron pen

What started out as a doodle of a penguin riding a camel grew out of control into one of my favorite illustrations. Someday I might work up the courage to add watercolor.

This is spectacular and creative! I really live it!

Thanks!

I love this!!! That lime green grass and bright pink tongue really set each other off. It looks just like my brother’s kitty, Kuro!

She is beautiful Her feather pattern is very well executed.

Thank you!

Masterful!! I am a fan! Every detail done from the character's, camels, the fabrics, decoration done was well thought out and brought to life. This took me on a journey. A story waiting to be told.

I am a big fan of your artworks!

You could always scan 'The Magi' and then digitally add colour so that your can see which colours works best before adding colour to the original?

I do it sometimes. I will post an example for you, and I might as well enter it in the contest while I am at it, so look out for my next post in this thread...

Entry 2
Old Raven
5.5”x8.5”
Watercolor

This painting is based on a photo of my beloved Raven soaking up the sun with her black feathers. I had a lot of fun adding the distinctive details of her feathery face and spotted orange eyes.
