This is one of those three commissions I am (still) working on.
One only has one chance to get things perfect before shipping them off, and I hate to let anything go if I am not completely happy with it. So, I am spending more time than anticipated on these to make sure they are the best they can be.
There is still a bit to go on this one; It needs a lot interesting stuff added to the surroundings. The airship and basic environment are pretty much done now.
I do wish that the images could show the amount of detail I have. My camera is not too good for this sort of thing.
There are ropes that are thinner than human hair, yet still have lighting and shadow on them, and there are lanterns smaller than the head of a pin, with their iron frames painted in detail.
From here, there will likely not be any more preview images until it is done. It has just been a while since I have posted about what is going on with me – and the commissions are pretty much all that is going on with me from here through the next month.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you are doing well. Say hello to the Sun and sky for me, should you happen to see them.
That ship is coming along great man!
All the work you’re putting into these paintings is going to make for a phenomenal value for us lucky enough to get one so I for one really appreciate that.
I don’t know how the weather is up there but down here in Houston we’ve had some beautiful days lately so I hope you get a chance to take a break to get outside and enjoy the spring air!
I think it is about 55 up here today, which is “Summer” compared to the usual weather.
I am more of a southern climate person, love the heat and humidity – but not seeing snow and ice on the ground, is certainly something the be grateful for I guess.
I can’t say I won’t be glad to have these three done, but I am not the type to rush anything for anyone.
These pieces are really going to be something special when done. I hope you have a lot of social gatherings, because people not seeing the originals would be a shame :)
