Different approach
I really like the idea of a mural in this illustration, just didn’t really feel the first. Started doing a complete paint-over. Just experimenting really. Maybe it’s gonna be a Griffon, maybe a phoenix, I dunno.

So I had my portfolio reviewed last night…
By none other than Jon Foster and Carl Dobsky. Jon Foster is one of my favorite living contemporary illustrators and Carl Dobsky is one of the top living fine artists, so this was a unique opportunity to have my work reviewed by these guys. They really took the time to give some very usefull pointers and critique, analyzing every piece. It’s a great experience to get advice, as well as some recognition by artists you really admire and look up to.
I included this particular piece, eventhough it’s not finished, because I like the dynamic pose and the overall feel of it. One thing Jon and Carl both pointed out in pretty much all of my work, is my use of too much heavy blacks, like in this one. It’s defenitely something I needed to hear and will work on from now on. For this piece I’m trying to replace the heavy black of the catsuit with some dark blue-ish hue. Also fixed her left leg, but I already did that before I had the review.
