FISHMINGO

This is from an OAC topic posted a few weeks ago. My first version of this was absolutely horrifying. Click here if you want to see my first attempt. I was just trying to stay loose and go with the idea of combining a fish and flamingo - which in reality may not be a very pretty creature. After the first try, I decided to try a design that would be more whimsical and appealing.

In Brussels

It's been some time since the last post. I recently returned from a trip to Belgium, and it was a delight. Why is it that trips always set in and feel more special after you get back home? I always try to take in the moments while I'm there - but they go by so fast! I started off in Antwerp (beautiful city), then visited the canal filled streets of Amsterdam (another place I'll visit again). I ended up in Brussels during their Christmas festivities and it was truly a magical experience. Here's a dramatization of me shooting lasers over "The Grand Place" in Brussels. If I get any chance to, I'd like to paint up some other images of sights that left their impressions on me!
