Sweet dreams

Hi! Back from holidays! How are you?...That bad? hum...
Well, well... This is a "brush-test" I did some time ago, directly on Painter. The model was my cat "Manchi": she was sleeping on my legs during the process!!

Holidays

The 62 pages of the new book are ready to be colored. Here is a sample of some, mixed with storyboard pages, and a fun provisional logo.
Now is time for holidays (for me that means working on another place ,sigh!), so this blog will be really boring during some time.
Have nice holidays everybody, and see you soon!

Another test done some months ago before start working on the pages of the book.
