delightful stuff :thumbsup: you really capture the movement and expression with these… and your models seem to retain that dynamism in the pose for those times!

You certainly brightened up my morning- a delightful scroll and repeated looks increases my admiration.
I just hope you are making a decent living from your art! (none of my business, but just a wish for your life!)

More great work, I love the idea of 3s and 5s. Makes much more sense than 1s and 2s 😊

The very first one, you know what I thought of? A beautiful angel. Well, all angels are beautiful even when they are angry. This one, she was spreading her feathers.

Thank you all for the very positive comments. Kristy, that’s a lovely thought.

I just hope you are making a decent living from your art!

Thank you, Bethany. I had a devil of a time selling my fine art paintings, and I finally sort of gave up; that’s one reason I’m exploring a switch to fantasy illustration. Hopefully that will go a little better. I am fortunate enough to teach part-time at a community college, though, for which I’m quite grateful!

Love the way you draw the terminator. The background/strong shaded strokes really work on the first one: very dramatic.

Nathan.
C&C always appreciated.
