I turned off the camera before I finished the vulture because I needed to look at the references on my phone 😅
I was a little nervous about making this piece too muddy with all the sponge texture and browns, but 😍
rambling about commissions under the cut
these kinds of commissions are the reason I don’t charge extra for original commissions (vs copies of my previous work), despite sketching and reference hunting taking hours at times. and why I love making variations on the copies too. I want to encourage people to ask me to make new things!
I always enjoy the commissions I take, I generally don’t take them if they don’t suit my art style or if I would find them tedious, but getting a commission that pulls from things I’ve already done and adds new elements, especially ones I wouldn’t have thought to add, is so satisfying!
There for but a moment, then whipped away to who knows where ... still love watching leaves caught on the wind ... slept soundly last night as always happens during stormy weather ... dreamt of a friend who's been suffering constant headaches, the answer apparently being that they keep their tongue in their airing cupboard ... made me think of woodpeckers and their tongues being wrapped protectively around their brains ... I must send a message to my friend ...
