This was a freebie commission for Glen's brother's wedding reception (it's going out as a...oh it's hard to explain, but it's gonna look cool I think.

I got Glen to hold it for a sense of scale.

Hee. And hey, look, I do something other than animals and people!





( More madness under the cut. )

Opalescent Rooster

Man, mad detail. It's ready for colouring now. Woot. :)

27.5 x 39 centimetres (11 x 15 inches) on
cold-pressed illustrator's board
waterfast, archival fineliner, pencil, watercolour pencil, acrylic, gouache

No prints will be made available (or if there are, they will be very small versions), because I cannot get a high enough resolution picture of the final. Apologies.

( Full process and large image with details under the cut. )

About just under halfway through the colouring process, applying the first layer of colour - the water colour pencils.

I've decided to show more WIP shots for the colour process than I ever have for any other picture. So have at it, and enjoy!

( Eleven pictures under the cut, starting from basic sketch to mid-way with the colouring process. )

This picture is now ready for colouring. And I'll do no more ink work on it, dammit! Except for signing it. At some point.





( Six pictures under the cut, starting from basic sketch to finished inkwork. )

Snow White and Rose Red

This picture broke my brain in all the right ways.





( Snow White and Rose Red; check it out, yo. )

Now, onto my next project!

For a short time only, DeviantArt is offering FREE shipping (globally, ANYWHERE, on ANYTHING) on its prints. This is for the next four days only.

So if you were thinking of getting some of my artwork in print format for Christmas, now's the time to do it!

Snow White and Rose Red

Detail shot.





( Full image, and two more detail shots beneath the cut. )

On the edge of a poor village, bordering the forest, lived an old man and his spoilt daughter. The daughter only ever ate one thing; rabbits. She begged her father for rabbits all the time, and refused to eat anything else.





( The rest of the story, and the large picture for details are behind the cut. )

The black and white for this was an utter bitch, and probably the most intensive inkwork I've had to do for a while. The photo does none of this justice, but that's okay.
