Here’s a test painting for a recent illustration gig. Lately I’ve been playing with having large areas of black ink in my watercolors – it makes a nice graphic contrast that I can build the painting around. (Which artist was it that called black “the prince of colors”?)

And here’s a slight re-design of Micki from Smithson. I’m still playing with the features of most of the characters, trying to tighten up their designs. Micki looks a little angry here, but I kind of like her revamped hairstyle.
