Baby mojave painting

In my last post I said I wanted to do a painting of a ball python. I decided on an old photo of one of my mojave hatchlings and got started. I'm about 7-8 hours in, probably 1/2 finished. Here are some progress pics.

I have to get out the detail brush and do the scales and such, then give it a blue backround.

Wow! Great job Jake :gj: I'm impressed ;)

Let's say I was unaware ;)

Wow! You should make copies! I'd like one of those on my wall. Hehehe

NICE!!! I can see where it's going... and I love it!

Thanks for the comments. I'll be sure to post the finished pictures. At the rate I've been going it should be soon.

It took a little longer than I planned, but it's just about finished. I have some touching up to do, so I'm going to put it away for a few days to get a fresh look at it later. The color is pretty close to being accurate after adjusting the levels in photoshop, but my camera and photo skills don't do it justice. I think I need to buy a scanner.
