[.this or that?.]

So, I'm doing portraits right now. And here's a couple of quick sketches for the next one. Major difference is in the background. V1 has a weird skinny forest in the background. V2 has curtains and a heart shaped key. And I can't decide which one I like better. So here are both sketches.

Edit: 4.34pm

I went with the forest. Here's a super-quick colour study:

I've decided I'm going to call it "Bitter Fruits". It's a self portrait (which is annoying, I hate doing them, but whatever), and it's named for the tattoo I have across my chest which says "The Bitter Fruit is Born of Anger". In the painting it's just going to say "Bitter Fruits" though. The final will be 10.5" by 22", oil on masonite.

Sooo, here's some pre-colour painting.
(A few changes have been made between these shots and it's current state)

Aaaaaanndddd a detail shot...

So, I had a thought this morning (just one though)... Why not share a little bit of what I'm currently working on with you? And what am I currently working on anyways? Jesu, who knows? Well, I'm working on a short comic called "Hissing Fauna" for one. And a book project for TOO Books, called "Watcher in the Fall", a real good bit of sci fi.

Since I am under strict orders not to share the book... Here's a little bit from "Hissing Fauna" for you...

Here are some photos from the NYC trip! I'll add more later.
