Mornin' Everyone! It seems I am behind keeping up with our Leopard Sun uploads. But better late than never, Bagheera and I are happy to bring you another artwork for our upcoming novel, The Leopard Sun!
This is a speedpainting titled The Sea & The Sky. Many a poem has been written about the relationship between the two, and for good reason - it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. That in itself carries a profoundness to it, which we think the eagles - Moyana in particular - would be fascinated by.
This was a conceptual painting done fairly quickly, but we may revisit the idea in a more refined manner in the future!

Ooooh. That's a beautifully drawn vista. The attention to detail is stunning. ^_^
Lovely
What's interesting is a change of color scale and vertical stretch, this could make a great cloudscape within a Gas giant planet's atmosphere.

you have a flow here that feels like cloud tank work... that's really nice
The best skies are the ones that are done quickly but skillfully, a few details and a lot of haziness - but experienced haziness. :)
I really love the composition of colors in this one. There's one thing that bothers me (which I guess is my fault because I can be awfully pedantic at times xD ) and that is the shadows of the birds don't seem to align with the rays of light. The angle should be lower I think. Alas it's a speedpainting and I couldn't create something that beautiful in a lifetime, so I'm not the one to critisize. XD
Crits are ALWAYS welcome. This is a piece I wasn't personally satisfied with. The lighting changed several times until I finally decided to just stop working on it. In a way it is an exercise in learning to accept imperfection and moving on. But..yes..that bothers me ;].
I would have loved to see the whole progression, as it's really interesting to see which approaches an artist takes and in which order. So far Alector was the only one I really managed to look over the shoulder ... okay maybe I've been watching 1 or 2 episodes of Bob Ross, but that doesn't count. XD My wife told me to send you warmhearted greetings. :)
