in-class painting

little loki

started my full figure loki sculpt, he's a lot smaller and lighter than the other one, thank god. I like the pose, just need to give him some clothes...

painting progress

I had to readjust the proportions by moving their feet... that set me back a bit. Other than that this is coming along... Although it obviously still needs a lot of work.

Diceratias nassa

I still have some work to do on this one, but it's at least partly cleaned up.

Ceratias carcerarius

oil painting from life

New oil painting from class. This was done from a live model over a two class periods. It's the first one I've done that I don't immediately hate! (My camera washed out some of the colors I'm afraid.)

Mantid: Melicertus religiosa

At long last! The mantid has a name: Melicertus religiosa. I can't take credit however, My friend KT who actually speaks latin named it for me. :) Melicertus is the genus of "king prawns," and religiosa is pretty self-explanatory. Here he is in all his glory! (And it's specifically a he because females don't have external wings.)

Loki

His horns are finally starting to look right!
