Vanity.

Last one for a long, long time, I swear.

Tornado Warning

Having been raised in Kansas for all my memorable life, I know that the appropriate reaction when one is menaced by whirling debris is to eat dinner, laze slowly to the basement, and then screw around on the Internet until Nature's Wrath has made its appointed rounds. So here I am now, and I figure I may as well toss these up here. The first is another random head of the kind that happens _continuously_ when I'm not really thinking. The second is a brush/tone/value test related vaguely to Maxfield Parrish.

Liquidity

Water is a pretty complicated problem. I've got probably two dozen 'wave' brushes, none of which actually work, which means ever river, stream, gully, and ocean is a unique issue unto itself. On the other hand, even a modicum of success is worth some jubilation.

Quick! Make something up!

Ignatius Rourke only caused people happiness in life. In death, he must now endure eternity chained to super euphoric glow balls.

ERZ Olympia

More about Paris, 1863, than Beijing, 2008. Olympia, Dirge's 'daughter,' gets only a single scene in the entire story.

Golden Arches

I keep shoving ridiculous self portraits off on you guys. I feel like Chairman Mao. And, in this case, Geordi La Forge.

Sometimes I just post things here so I'll quit working on them. I could really use to not be painting this one anymore.
