It has been a little while since I posted so I’ll blame the holidays for that. Travel and whatnot has impacted my ability to get stuff on-line. I have been working, however. I mean, when am I not? I told myself I wasn’t going to post any of the paintings of the Ruby June book until I was nearing completion but I have been putting off nearly all my other projects in the hopes that in the next 5-6 months I will be able to bring this one home.
Here is the painting of the Deep Ones freed from Coo-Thoo-Loo’s spell. I might still push on this one just a bit. I’m told some of my panels are a little on the dark side so maybe I can push in a little more light here and there. I sort of like the darker values though. It is a book about Cthulhu after all. Even though I’m making it safe for kids, I don’t want to make it too cheery or bright. Still, I might be able to bring in a little more light on the foreground figures. What I will probably do is get all the panels to this stage and then look at them all together again.
