Description

Work in progress. I'm painting a re-make of the fantasy map of the world I drew about six years ago, with a bigger pantheon of dragons and elves, and without the actual map. This canvas measures about 3 1/2 by 4 feet so it's way bigger than my usual artwork. About a month of work has gone into it so far (not counting stretching and gesso-ing the canvas) and it's not even colored yet. I wanted to make sure I photograph the underlying pencil drawing because I suspect that when I wash this thing with ground color the lines are going to blur. I wonder if I'll be able to paint in soft-focus or does all my artwork end up looking flat and hard-edged like anime?

Everything in this picture has a story behind it. Even if no one were ever to see it I would still paint it so I could see this world with my own eyes and not just in my imagination. But I owe my legions of fans (yeah, right) a look at what I've been up to.

How delightfully mystical! Elves and dragons and elements, and latin. Latin makes everything seem more mystical... anyway... I seriously love this concept, and I am just dying to see the painting when it's finished. Instant fave!
