Concentration #2

Yay! Done with one more concentration! Still one to go before finals... eek!
So this one is a faerie. I used the same medium's as before-- this time, highlighting the wings with sparkly paint. The wings went through many transformations, but I'm happy with the ending result. I hope you guys like the mushrooms. I was inspired by Mario ;) With the sky, grass, and tree's I was trying to create an enchanting whimsical effect. Hope y'all like it! :)

Concentration #1

I should have posted this a lot sooner... but since I'm going to start working on my 2nd concentration I thought it would be a good time to post this. 

So first of all, the idea of my concentrations are overall fantasy animals and people. 6 of my concentrations are going to be (somewhat) human, and the other 6 mainly animals-like creatures. This is what I'm planning on doing: (f- female, m-male)

(Humans): Mermaid (f), Faerie (f), Wizard (m), Witch (f), Elf (m), Dwarf (m)
(Creatures): Dragon (m), Unicorn (f), Phoenix (f), Centaur (m)*, Griffin (f), Basilisk (m)

*Yes, a Centaur is half-man, half-horse. I feel like I would be incomplete w/o a Centaur and I am planning on interpreting the Centaur with more horse qualities in him. (For example I may use horse ears, and have more horse hair on his torso and arms, rather than common views were only the lower half of the body is really the horse).*
 

So here is my first concentration "Majestic Mermaid" finished!
(I used acrylic and tempera paints w/ black felt pen as the border lines)



Next up, I'll be working on the Faerie! :)
