Description ((Apologies for the fugly watermark, but apparently people have been stealing some of my images from Facebook, so I've decided to start taking precautions. Hate that it's so distracting.))

Portrait of my best friend, Emi. I actually finished this early December, but haven't had much of a chance to submit anything. This one was fun, since I had to set up a photoshoot with her first. Since I've done this I've had several people ask me if I could do their portrait, so I might be getting some pretty awesome commissions soon.

On that note, I am open for commissions if anyone is interested. I actually have time, at least on weekends, and the creative motivation. I haven't set any prices exactly, so if you are interested just contact me via note or whatever.

Oils on canvas, 20x24 in.

The fur looks so awesome, first thing that caught my attention, but the whole piece is brilliant!

That fur was a bit of a headache. I could never find colors that worked right. But it somehow worked itself out on the very last day. ^^ Thanks!

That is a really nice painting! Wow! I'd go mad trying to get all those details on the fur lining right.

The fur was actually easier than her skin tone. (and her skin looks way too pink in the photo, it's more natural in the original) I had to paint her face about 4 times.

Oi. Skin tone can be really hard. But all those fiddly little details in the fur! Whoa!

haha, that actually wasn't hard at all. Lots of thick paint in varying shades just slapped on.
