Aloha Tiki Tribe~
Hewey~ Thanks, I'm glad your digging the slow reveals of my process. It's a bit scary posting it up half way through when you know it doesn't look right yet, and it's all half way crappy.
Travellin' Tiki~ Thanks Heather! wow, I really like hearing such nice things from someone who's work I LOVE! I'm always tormented with the color schemes. I mean... orange and pink and green are very scary to mix together. When it was finished it is still too new in my mind, and I keep looking at the colors and thinking "Oh my gawd, what have I done?!" I'm sure that will go away as I move on to the next piece. I'll look back at it and not see only the mistakes.
LLT~ Dude! did you kill the little bird just to get me reference! OMG! No, I know you wouldn't do that. (But If so, could you snuff one that had a bit more yellow in it, and shoot it from a slightly lower angle. Thanks.)
TeaKEY~ HA! Yes, most clever cats on the big island use ukuleles to lull their prey to sleep. It's a common hunting technique here. Well, who knows, I got some sketches for the next few paintings. I have this total "Aurora Monster Model" set up theme going still. It's like the paintings could be box cover art for a nonexistent line of "Exotica Creatures of Mythic Hawaii" models.
These are artist proofs. Meaning, smaller prints done while I have the printer adust the color and saturation till it's just right.
big Aloha from the Big Island!
