Storms in Africa by Spirit Creations

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:52:41 -0000

Inspired by Enya's song, "Storms in Africa," and dedicated to my dear friend Rew who loves marozi's. A marozi is a real animal, by the way, and is a cross between a lion and a leopard. Granted, these generally are not the colors of a marozi. Anyways, I've been working on this for 3-4 weeks now between commissions while waiting on customers to reply and on my "commission day off," which is Sunday, and which is why it took me so long to do. That mane...those spots... gah. Took me forever to paint! Also, he's clawing into a hoof print in the ground, but that did not show up too well. Note: I did use wolfy-nail's piece "Reactiv(colored)" for help with referencing the pose and foreshortening. However, I altered the pose a bit to my liking. © S. Henson 2007

Dance of the Quetzal by Spirit Creations

Wed, 16 May 2007 18:50:56 -0000

Here we have a Mayan maned wolf doing the Dance of the Quetzal! This is one of the few pieces where there is no line art whatsoever. I'm trying my hand out at fur texture. I don't like the gold on him too much. I need to learn how to paint metallics. Not that gold is that color in real life anyways. I love the plant though that is off to his left. After painting this, I think I broke my wrist. Print available. © S. Henson 2007
