Catching Up - Fievel

I had a baby T and decided to paint it up.  I thought Fievel would be a great little character for a little boy.  So here is the result.

Catching Up - A Rat's Life

This was intended to be another practice piece.  It started out with some light mapping from a stencil.  I drew out a rat and included it into the composition.  Then the rest was all freehanded with the airbrush.  This was also done on paper with Wicked.

So now my family has banned me from "practicing" on paper.

Catching Up - Lick

Since my first painting, "Cat Nap," came out so good, I decided to do another black and white of a cat.  So here are some of the progress pictures.

Worked on my highlights and many layers of scratching to create the depth in the fur.

Catching Up - Fishing Lures

Well, this was my very fist commission.  My client wanted me to paint two fishing lures like the old B-52 Bombers.  This was the result.
