Bridge of Lust and Love

 

Bridge of Lust and Love.  12" x 16"

I really wanted to do something overtly anthro to fit well into Hybrid.  These sophisticated customers came to me over a couple of very early in the morning (around 3 am) reveries.  I like them...they seem to have a history all their own.  

Most of my drawings start with a pencil sketch; then I do all of the inking.  For this piece after I inked it, I experimented with under painting (this particular piece is watercolor brush marker--watercolor effect without the mess, and with much greater control over the outcome), before finally adding color.  Here are some progress shots:

This is after both inking and the under painting in grey.  If you zoom in you can see all of the tiny, tiny fur strokes...they are made with a .003 Micron pen.  And yes, it takes as long as you might imagine.

Next step:

Adding some sunset colors.  I do really loooooove color!

I hope you all enjoy my Venetian beauties as much as I did putting them together!
