The Red Queen

Back to my peculiar and very fancy animals. I was planning on a very fancy dress, but my model had different plans. It is a spectacular ruff though.

Something completely different, loose and brushy and cool. I'm so looking forward to summer.

Warm and comforting things.

Ridges

5"x7"

I tried to create something very dry and light, like really get the feeling of the shell. I don't know if I'm explaining it properly, I'm not a word person..... but I captured a little bit of it. Glowing by still chalky outside-of-shell.

Halo

More sketching. Look at the color in her ear!
