Viking WIP Continues...

Not sure how much further I'll get on this tonight, so here's the latest snapshot:

 

I'm still primarily working on rendering at this point, but I did experiment with texture a bit this afternoon.  I know technically that kind of detail is supposed be saved for the end, but I just couldn't resist! (Though, I did turn the texture layers off while I painted so I could pretend I wasn't skipping ahead, see what I was doing).  Textures are "on" in the screenshot above... I think they may just make it into the final painting :)

Still lots of work to do on this one, so more to come! 

Long time no post ... and Vikings!

I can't believe it's the end of September already!  It's been a busy summer of work, vacation, painting, sketching, cooking experiments... and not posting on this blog.  Sorry poor neglected blog.

I have a few other projects in the works, but I started taking in-progress snapshots of my latest painting so to get the blog going again, here they are!

Last week:

Today:

Only two so far, but I'm finding it interesting to look back at the progression, so I'm planning to continue with the screenshots (and post them more frequently).

More to come!
