I finished up Taba’s Mousie today, too! I’m feeling so productive, I even prevented a senseless murder tonight – grackle vs. sparrow. I won. Sparrow lives at least a little while longer. Man those grackles are aggressive. 🙁
I’ll scan Mousie tomorrow sometime and show ya again. Cause I like to repeat myself. A lot.
😆
I’m waiting on final approval on her, but here she is. I’ll post the final scan & details after the paint dries!
I’ve been painting all day today, and here’s Sissy’s progress. She’s almost complete! I’m going to try to add her final coat tonight, if not tomorrow morning.
I’ve just completed the underpainting on this custom cat portrait, and it’s going to make for a great base for the layers to come. I joke around with my friends about my underpaintings, always justifying the colors I choose for underpaintings by saying “well? if you shaved him that’s what he’d look like, right?”
I’ve got a lot done, but have a ton more to do. She’ll end up with another layer of darks, then at least 3 light layers of poofy floofy hair applied strand by strand. She’s a white cat. Trust me. (Her eyes etc. will be further refined & enhanced as well. Whiskers come last, well, right before I sign it.)
😉
Pending final blessings from his mom of course, but here he is. I’m very pleased with how he turned out. I’ll post the final scan & details after he’s dry.
I’ve been painting on and off all day today. I’ve got the underpainting done on this Mousie now. Taba, you need to choose a name for your mousie!

Looking at the last work in progress shot compared to this one, you can see how I’ve used the underpainting as a base for his right ear and his chest. I have most of the wave & curl laid down now, and once this layer is dry I will apply the final layer which will further enhance each curl, deepen and lighten his coat all the way around. Then I’ll sign him. (I don’t ever sign my pieces until they meet my own standards!)
So, basically one more layer which will be a very thin one just for highlights and lowlights, to really bring out each hair as much as possible.
