This is just the rough compositional sketch to get a feel for the layout of the image.

Basically, I placed photos of the tazmanian tiger and the model whose pose I wanted to use (she was kneeling rather than standing) on separate layers in the sizes I needed them to be in relation to one another. Also, I erased the photo backgrounds and used a black background for the comp.

Then, I placed separate layers over each of the photos and sketched in the details with my digital pad. After hiding the photos and adjusting sketch placements, I added another layer for the purple glows.

Now that I had the comp image like I wanted it, I inverted it to dark lines on a white background and printed it out. This gave me the hard copy reference to do my final sketch from.

Of course, now that the final sketch is done, my scanner's kaput! So it goes...

Once the sketch gets scanned, I can do the coloring, shading, and background. At least that's the plan!

Thanks!

I'm headed out of town tomorrow for five days, so I won't have computer access. I'm going to try and get it done within the week after I get back. We'll see how it goes.

In the meantime, take a peek at my PORTAL: series! ~wa11a6y

There's no rush! I have to go out of town midweek, so it may be another week or two before I get this pic finished.

Here is the only existing pic of Wa11a6y (and it was a rush job)![link]

Wa11a6y is of the kanga-fox species created by ~sayla-renheart Shawn and a couple of her friends have an Art Group devoted to the species. [link] That will you a better idea of what they look like.

Wa11a6y has a pot belly instead of a 'six-pac'. He's prone to wearing shorts and open Hawaiian shirts with a color-coordinated tee-shirt underneath. Wa11a6y has been known to wear other attire as the situation demands. (He even wore a suit to his daughter's wedding...)

Here's a good reference for Wa11a6y's gray 'muzzle' and hair! [link] If there seems to be a strong resemblance, that's because Wa11a6y is my kanga-fox alter-ego!

Please work this trade in to best fit your schedule. I'm in no rush, so don't stress out over it!

Sounds like a good plan.

Thanks!

This piece is going to be a stretch for me. Photography and graphic design are my strong points, not illustration.
