Some Work, Some Worry

Trying to work on the Queen of the Nereids... but it's going slowly.  I have lots of family in Irene's path, so it's hard to concentrate. As of last check, the ones I could get in touch with are doing fine waiting for the worst of it.

Having lived in south Florida for years, I know only too well what it's like... that's why I worry.  But I'm hoping all will get through the night unscathed.

So I'll leave you with some progress photos of the Queen's tail. First I used the dip pen to outline all the scales. Then painting the scales....I'm adding the highlights as I go. The darker shading will be added later.



 

 



For all in Irene's path, stay safe!

  1. I love the orange scales. They sure add a lot of visual texture.
