It's fun to see what you think of each time. All the fun touches. I can't figure out what is on the ground in front of the tiki. Wendy |

Ok. As I try to finish up a number of paintings I thought I'd go ahead and launch the contest I mention a few posts up. I am going to pose a question about my in-progress painting ENCHANTED AT THE COVE, which can be seen in my last few posts in this thread and the first person to post the correct answer in this thread wins one 12.25x15 inch print of their choice from the 4 images below. The correct answer is known only to myself (at the moment anyway) and may only make sense to me but I think any astute observer could come up with the answer I have in mind...at least I hope so! :) Here it is: Why has the Mermaid succumbed to the Squids "enchantment"? The one hint I will give is to go and look through my gallery of images. Either at http://www.tikitower.com or here at Tiki Central http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=36491&forum=21&45 The contest starts......NOW! Good luck! |

I know why - she dropped the magic mermaid power-protection-pendant (it's on the seabed below her to our right) and is now open to the squid's devious deepsea hypnotism! Cammo |

YYYYYAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! I love your art!!!!! Is the mermaid-and-tiki one a print up for grabs? I love that one! That was a really hard contest! I spent hours debating the reason and looking over the art in question. Cam O. |

Thanks Mike, Brad and Ken! Hope they are as big a hit with the Hukilau crowd! As to the back story, I love doing that and plan on doing more of it. Which leads me to reposting my Tiki Tower Chimp trailer for anyone who missed it the first time. Check it out here: |

Thanks Ken! Boy is trying anyways! :) On this latest Mai Kai tiki I went back to my comic book style drawing days and decided to go with a black outline. I always love that! And that Tiki seemed to call out for it! Here's the latest on Enchanted At The Cove. I feel I'm a day or so away from completion. I added an ominous green tint to the water surrounding the Squid....didn't photograph to well tho'. |

Here's my interpretation of the backstory; the sailor was jilted when the mermaid left him for a grouper so he hired the hitman squid to get his revenge :lol: The colors are really starting to POP! |

So ENCHANTED AT THE COVE is finished. I will properly scan it tomorrow. Here's a pic of it sitting on my printer. Now, in addition to working on the smaller paintings for Hukilau, I am jumping in to another new painting. This one is titled THE TIKI GOES NOWHERE! and features the character of Doc Savage protecting a Tiki from some marauders. I will be attempting to achieve a nice pulp style on this one! Stay tuned! This was my original sketch which I posted here some time ago: And this is the new direction, with a more prominent Doc Savage.

Cool! I'm a Doc Savage fan from way back. Now, for the next painting, if you could have him riding on the running board of a Stutz Bearcat, with a fez monkey driving, that would be perfect. |

Thanks Cy! Appreciate the words! Layering and a lot of dry brushing does add quite a bit to a painting! It's time consuming but well worth it. |
