Monster.

I finally added the monster! The mammalian beast was based on a wolf and I like the expression on the face so far, will probably touch it up at some point.

Also, I added some texture on the walls and stalactites to the left. Not as exciting as the beast.

Cave

Small update: I decided to address this area. I gave the cave wall a little more texture and I'm pleased with the results so far but I don't know how I feel about the detail on that orange/yellow stalagmite. Actually I do know, I don't like it.

First glimpse of my Painting. In this stage I'm still at a point where I'm not quite sure how I want to address the piece. Early layering. Could go more impressionistic or more detailed.

I don't want photorealism but I want to capture some of the detail in the photo. Decisions.

Ba stuff so far

I'll rotate these later.

(Painting 2) Work for the semester

For the remainder of the semester I will seek to create fantastic imagery. That is to say, images and worlds born from my own imagination.
For these images I am interested in using real world locations to aid my inspiration


My first painting in this series is inspired by this cave in Predjama castle in Slovenia
