Blue Sky

 Stayed up working on the background of this one again. I wasn't sure if I liked the way it turned out, normally I prefer a smooth finish for things I do but I am starting to dig the texture that came out of this. The background was the only thing I hadn't settled on in the original so I am happy to have that part figured out here. Now I get to work on the fun parts and fixing the mistakes I made. Most of them I will keep actually because I like it, gives it a more surreal look.

The rest of my pencil. It hurt my fingers to color with it but so worth it!

Just another fish, ok, and then 2 more.

 Modified this one after all. Just outlined it a little and added a shadow under the tail. Much better now I think.

 Fun with colored pencils and rubbing alcohol. Just trying out new things.

Loving the blue on this one. It was the one thing I was stuck on for years with the original so this is rather nice seeing it come together like this.

Better scan

Final scan. I think for now I am done. Copies of this may be purchased for $15 for an 8x11.

Fish

 Finished piece. Top one is without flash, going to scan it tomorrow. For now I am trying to decide which direction I like it best. I think I like the top one best, especially for a t shirt.

Shirt design

Going to see if this gets picked for a shirt design on Threadless. I will post it again with links to the page once I get it submitted. Been working on things nightly to keep the creative juices flowing. Tell me, would you wear this on a shirt?

Peixe/Fish

Sunday sketches are sometimes the best. This isn't exactly how I had planned this one to turn out, but for an idea it is pretty cool. I would rather have more art deco inspired designs on the fish but since I wasn't at home this was the best I could come up with. It is called Peixe or fish in Portuguese.

Recent workings.

 Redo of this creature guy since the one I did originally is on paper that is now too thin to finish. I have been wanting to do this one for the last 5 years and I am super excited and equally nervous to do this. Not sure if I will change too much about it but so far I am loving it.

This one is slow going, I haven't been feeling too motivated to work on it as much but I like how it is coming along.
