having a blast carving out the surface plane, adjusting color, and controlling value. Painting is half analytical and half going with the flow. Then tomorrow I begin the underpaintings on a couple new commissions and finish a custom digital. Full and fun.

Quick Update: I’m closing my schedule for commissions (except for the Custom Digitals) until May. Just took on two new ones and I am just too full up. If you would like to get in on space in May, feel free to contact me. All my consultations are always free.

OK. Finally on Ebay. Prices start at 99 cents. If you feel like it, check it out and let me know if I basically listed stuff right. I have a feeling that spazzing may have occurred.

Been working on the commission a Lunacy of Cattledogs. I’m almost there. Probably about 2 more sessions, the first of which I hope to get to by Wednesday. I worked on all the dogs, bringing them up to about 75% done. Next I’ll work on the ground, and when that’s done, I finish with detail work.

Also had a commission for a Custom Digital of a very lovely kittay. it’s not designed onto any items yet.

And in other news: Sold the Red Barn. Will also be working on color two of the Red Barn this week. (Yes, another painting sold before it’s finished. Cause that’s the was we roll here at DBArtworks.) And I start 2 commission in the next 2 weeks. Both very large.

Sorry sorry but I mostly post on Facebook and forget about my lonely ole blog.
