Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Here's the "Two Tikis" now... you can see a bit more of the inner light of the TIKI Lounge. and the whole lighting of
the scene is making more sense. (WHEW!) Feeling much better after a late night of painting and "tinting" once again.
Now, to finish up the tiki on the right, the cat needs a little more rendering and the skull, plus the texture of the foreground.
This is the last day before it goes to get professionally photographed to be made into art prints.

Big ALOHA! B~


Brad's Imaginary Art Muse Sez:
"Okee Dokee. More tinting, and not over-painting the careful under-painting. Better. Da' kid might be learning how to
use acrylic paint (after 6 years!). Now, to get that tiki on the right looking just right, fill in the cat, with-out loosing the
"cat look" he's got going right now. then, some nice working up on that skull: skulls are VERY special and fun things
to paint, so they gotta' be done with all the love a low-brow artist can muster. Then, checking the light source,
some ground texture, ...and oh yeah, there is a land mass that needs to be seen out beyond the breakers, on the
right to help balance out the whole she-bang. That last bit was an important bit of art directing from a very VIP &
secret source on TC. Brad owes a big Thanks to his anonymous art director."
