Work in Progress #3: Yet Another Elf
Now that I’m in between commissions, H.E. has been hounding me to make new artwork, so I spent last weekend working on a rather large Photoshop file and have been adding to it every now and then when I can catch a moment. Because the file is bigger than my computer can handle, the work has been slow, and I still plan on adding more layers and details to the picture.
The images below show what I saved each night:
Here is the close up of the collar, by the way, and I will gladly take critiques if you have them.
I hope to start working on everyone’s watercolors this or next weekend. So if you haven’t already made a suggestion or two, feel free to add to the thread.

u get into such details, it certainly ‘bamboozles’ me.
april, is it good for a painter to be identified with a certain style or not have any style at all.
The eyes lack any expression, unless it was intended to be 🙂
And say hi to minn ‘cos her site is closed for non bloggers 🙁
Only suggestion: get a new computer so you can finish more of these. ;^)
VJ, yes, thanks; the eyes were meant to be lacking in any expression.
As for style, I have quite a few just so I have more work opportunity. I think it’s great for artists to have an identifiable style, but if that’s not what the client needs, then an artist should be able to meet those needs, even if it means veering away from his or her usual style.
Dave, I would love to get a new computer, but I need to finish more of these so I can get more money in to buy a new computer. Catch-22! 😉
By the way, you can see the finished image here and a few more close up shots here. I don’t really see it as completed, but it takes forever just to save the file, let alone work on it. Damn! I need a new computer. 😛
Wow!!! What can I say about that!?!?! Beautiful work as always.Between commissions, huh?? Well, I have an idea!! I’ll shoot you an email.
That makes me want to go put on The Dark Crystal.
