It was interesting working on it, because I did the painting on the face on the top layer. The original line drawing was too harsh for the painting technique I wanted to try. And naturally, after I got started, I was basically making a new face, and could not see what I had done in the pen and ink layer while I worked on it. The eyes and jawline are skewed in the original drawing, which is another reason I wanted to tweak it.

The new face is closer to what Seren is supposed to look like, but I had no idea I’d changed the expression so much when I was finished until I put the two side by side to compare!

I’ve got to admit, I’ve always loved your b&w’s and there’s a different type of moodiness to the original than the colour. They are both amazing, but he’s more haunted in the b&w vs wistful in the colour.

Thanks so much! Just pop me an email via the contact form! And thanks for your patience.

I had to eat some crow with my printer, after scolding them about the bad printing. Then I checked my master file…

With how long it has been for the donation drive (which I have no difficulties at all with, honest) my shipping address is about to change. What would be the best way to update the shipping address for the print?

I meant this to go up yesterday, but I needed to pick at it a bit more. I did not look at the sketch until after I was finished: can’t believe how many changes I made from the original! So strange to go over something I did so many years ago!
