That's what I was trying to go for. Glad you think I got close. Love your unique style! Robb! It's funny I was just talking to tikiyaki about Rachel Welch the other day. I beg to differ though. In her heyday, she was pure dynamite! She buries all! Yeah, will take some studio pics soon. Right now it's break neck speed til TO! Kinny! And all those LLT treasures you've been jamming on! Should be fun! So I got three velvets in various stages of completion (and undress :D). This one... This one... and... Now to channel LLT's firepower to get them done! Mahalo! Velvets by J.

Actually, I think she was afraid I would serve a drink in it to a dinner guest and tell them later what it was :lol:

Thought the nude would take a little more time to do, so I worked more on it first. Next progress pic, almost done, needs tweaks and highlights etc... Hey Mike! Got a title for me? Fire away bruddah!

Something about the look on her face, like a happy memory. The word satisfied comes to mind, but somehow that seems lewd and lascivious on a nude :)

Sweet glory be! You are too funny leleliz! I was debating on whether to put a pareu on her, but noticed Leeteg did a lot of nudes...so I changed my mind. Hope it's subtle though. She will be wearing a flower soon! So she won't be completely in the buff. :) Velvets by J. Sallin [ Edited by: Iokona Ki'i 2009-08-11 10:27 ]

Well, we had a blast at our first Tiki Oasis! Even if we didn't see much but our vending suite. Sold lots of fluff and most of my velvets. To my surprise! I didn't get a chance to finish these last three, but popped them in a frame and brought them anyways. Time to pop em out and finish them! Next time we'll bring some help so we can enjoy more of the parties! And shop and drink!. Thanks everyone who came by to hang and say hello. Great to put faces with TC names. Many Mahalos!

Been doing some velvet commissions that are "copies" of previous paintings I've posted. Kinda like Leeteg did. So I didn't want to be redundant and post them all again. This one being the exception since it's a lot bigger than the first one I did. Sketch Velvet Here's a sketch I'm gonna paint soon. Also, I posted this under Tonga Hut Thread in Locating Tiki a while ago. Might as well post it here too. These are 4 velvets I painted for them. Mahalo Jeremy and MP! Colors off some. Mahalo!
