Final Update

This is the final update. I'm waiting to hear from the owner on if he would like anything tweaked. Otherwise this will be sealed and ready to go!



Update

Been very busy today trying to get this peice done. I think I'll probably have 15 hours or so on this piece when it's finally complete. Still have work on the brown dog to do. Then I have finishing touches on all the animals and the background to figure something out on.



Update

Boy talk about a tricky painting! I'm about 90% done with the black dog, 90% done with the kitty and now I've moved onto the brown dog. Lots of work to go but heres an update.

Struggling

Wow I can't believe how much I'm struggling on this dog. It's a tricky little thing because it has hair going in every direction. Also, its owner wanted the bow in its hair, which is fine, but that adds to the weirdness that the hair falls in. It almost adds a poof to the top of the head and then a waterfall of hair.... No complaining, I enjoy a challenge.

Much work to go still! I have atleast 10 hours on this piece so far.

Added in the lights. I need to blend these in and tone it down. Also the bow needs alot more attention.
Blocked in and ready to detail

Next Commission: 3 Pets

My next commission is for a lovely man who wants his 3 pets painted for his wife for Christmas. Two of the animals are now deceased so this should be a pretty special gift. This is how far I've gotten after about 4-5 hours. Still a lot of work to do on this kitty to go, hopefully I'll finish with it tonight though and I'll move on to the next animal tomorrow.
