Day 2: Tiny Dog

Double dipping a little.  This cute pup is a commission.  BUT STILL!  Day 2, 30 paintings 30 days.

Day 29 - Maned Wolf

I like making these little storybook animal illustrations.  If you go back through my blog, you can see a lot of the others I do!  I sell these at art shows as tags or badges.   I have to do a snow leopard, panda, and corgi at least.  I need to add a few more dog breeds and more little kitties as well.

So for now, here's a frequently requested maned wolf!

Day 6: Golden

Another dog portrait!  I just can't help myself, they are too fun to paint!

Red Rottie Cider

This was a bit of a challenge for me... keeping things loose, but coherent.   Might scan this in at a better resolution, but I just wanted to share. Maybe the next stage in pet portraits is the dog-as-label painting?

MORE MORE Pet Portraits

Here's some more cats and dogs.

New Photoshop Brush

So, I've been painting all day, here are the things I churned out.  Just wanted to post this before bed.  I discovered a new brush to use that I adore, it looks very real media. 

Wolf - 2 hours
Self portrait- 2.5 hours
Jack Klugman as some sort of Game of Thrones character- 1.5 hours

Dog Sketches

Here are two more pet portrait sketches!

Big George

My goodness, time is flying by!  But it's not all bad... here's a big (for me) painting of my best dog George. It's in progress.  24x36", acrylic and acrylic ink. Need to spend tomorrow working on detailing out the face, maybe touching up the background a little, but then it's done.  This is intended for the "Man's Best Friend" show.  Honestly, if I didn't have something to enter for that, I'd kind of be going against my total dog-person nature.

Batch of Dog Portraits

And some more last minute dog portraits.

Last Batch of Pet Portraits

Last batch to mail out for Xmas.  Whee!  I am probably taking these off Fiverr over the holidays so that people don't expect new ones in time for the holidays.   They are currently $5 plus shipping, so $12, but Fiverr does take a chunk out of it.  It was a fun speedpainting and skill building exercise, but until I level up in the Fiverr program and can charge $20+ a piece for them, it's not really worth it.

Tiny Pet Portrait Prints

Here are a few of the finished prints from my happy little pet portraits.  All ready to be shipped out!

Yote Progress

If you were wondering where those coyotes were going... it's here!

Here's the rough layout.  I need to do a little more work to define the animals.

Yote

A pencil sketch all colored up for some new fabric I'm working on.

Skyler

This was a block print I did a while ago of my former pooch, Skyler.  He was the sweetest, most timid dog, but he was a love.  We'd often find him completely nestled in a bed with only his nose peeking out.  I miss him dearly, and I'm glad I did a few art pieces of him while he was with us.

If you like this print, it is available on all manners of items over at my Society6 page.

Little Dogs

Something for the View Gallery's "Little Things" art party.

They're 2.5x3.5", and they're to be donated to the gallery in hopes that it's a way to get my name out there, and all the proceeds go towards future exhibits at the museum/gallery.
