Hi Folks

Sorry I have not been around for a while as been busy with other things.

Some nice work started in here. 

Nice topic Ander Soth ... think may give this one a try to get me back into the swing of things again.

What about sails up since the oars are out?  You'd see more body that way.

My thoughts too, exactly ! Very cool image Kaz ! I found this link useful for reference on ancient Greek ships.

Wonderful concept you got there, EmiliaPaw...Love it !

oooh excellent ideas! thank you rain & oaktree! so i'm going to put the sails up AND tip it! an excuse to paint more waves! (which i'm lovin ! lol)

oaktree, i wouldn't take offense at good advice like that, and it never ceases to amaze me how we can trundle on with an image, completely ignoring it's flaws! lol

Thanks for the reference image Raimo, thats going to help massively!

Another slight update.  Close up on the face.  Have been playing about with the hair.  Don't know whether to incorporate some sort of headgear.  Like a fine mesh or netting type afair.  Would this be too much?

Good god you all are a fun bunch of artists.

I abandoned the Oracle after reading about Hestia, Goddess of the hearth, sworn to be a maiden (virgin) forever...

Heres how shes shaping up.

man Things are getting tough. everyones work looks crazy-good. Had a little time this morning before I went to work to add a little more to mine. Added the dagger and made some color adjustments. Should be able to work on it quite abit this weekend if the shuttle lifts-off tonight with no problems. Its the last night ever for the shuttle I wnat to get some photos if I can.

"what do you mean...I stopped thinking, therefore I disapeared?"

Koshime:  Your like a great motivator tool man.  I think its great the kind of passion that you have and can inspire in others And thank you for the little tips I've read from your posts to help others...they've helped me too

I love the development everyones work is going through.  It's cool to see eachothers work progress.  The help everybody gives eachother is a good motivator.  I'm looking to post the first of my WIP's come mon

Oh, ps, I started up this little anatomy links thread over in the Figure/life drawing advice forum for anyone thats interested.  Link below

I think its shaping up quite nicely. The eyes do not quite converge on the same point so, either the left or right need to be shifted slightly (and pupil dilation as well) with corresponding light glint. Gluck!

Work got busy.. and busy work is counterproductive to fitting in required time with the pencils and paints... so it looks like I'm sitting this one out... I'll visit the Hades idea oneday tho... I still think it could make for a good image.

and everyone's work is looking simply amazing! Emiliapaw... love it... its really atmospheric.. all peaceful like
