So without a break in between, I started a new piece.  Much more simple this time.  Here is the rough sketch with some color:

Ok it took a freakin' ridiculous amount of time to finish the dragon pic.  My wife estimates about 60 hours.  I don't even know... Just so glad it is done!  It will be a long long time before I take on something that big and complex again.

Here is the final...

Added in some additional background color to ensure that the composition won't be messed up in the final.  That's it for the weekend!

Well, back to the inevitable.  More scale work.  Made some pretty good progress on the dragon shading.

This idea popped into my head this morning.  Sorry,  I love Adventure Time....can't help it :)

The pose is kind of boring.  When I CG this i will probably make it a more aggressive stance, but you get the gist.  Kids got a kick out of it :)

I laid down the base color today and began doing some shading.  I'm trying to keep closer to cell shading rather than an airbrushed look, but it isn't pure cell shading.  I worked on this for 7 hours straight.  think my hand is numb.

Finally!  I'm sure I will find little things as I color, but for now it is done!

Another idea rolling around in my head.  I promise I will come up with a better title than "Future Girl".  Yes her arm is robotic.  No I don't know why :)  I was trying to practice the "glancing back over the shoulder" pose.

 Wanted to do a quick sketch for my ID.  I think it's fine, but I look about 16?  How to make me older?  Smaller eyes?  Less hair?  More square face?  I'll have to play with it in SAI and see.

Scales...scales...scales.. I will see them in my sleep.  They are imprinted on my retinas.  My shoulder aches,  my hand aches.  Please be worth it in the end!
