Painted Portraits (BP's, Geckos, etc.)

Some paintings I've been working on recenty, all practice pieces using photos of my geckos & BP's as well as pics from the good people of ball-python.net! Thanks again to everyone that helped me out with photos to practice with :D

These are cell phone shots, but anyone who submitted a photo on my other thread that I used will get a high res digital copy. If anyone else is interested in having one done feel free to inbox me ^.^

I'll post new pieces here as I do them. I use mainly acrylics, watercolour, pencil crayon and ink.

Thanks for looking! :)

Hahah more than a couple days and they might be hard to take away from me!! ;)
These take a few hours each, nothing too drastic lol! I just stare at a photo and re create it the way I see the animal :)

I wish I was artistic. These paintings are awesome! I could totally see someone with a tat of the first one.

Beautiful work!

Thank you both! ^.^

Perfect anatomy, and great colours, not to mention your line-work is spot on!!
