watercolor 2009.8

I liked the sketch,
but I'm not happy about this finish,
so I think I'll photoshop the color and details later.

so far, I am thinking to lighten the color of the girl's hair a bit
(yes, I decided it's "she")
and make the lion's head a bit smaller.

could anyone give me a suggestion besides that?

2009.9.22 edit>
lion's ear & eyes, the girl's face, back ground color fixed.
thank you so much for everyone gave me an advice!

Love your work. Some of them are perfect for a project that I am working on. Please read the following and then I would love to receive submissions from you.

Call to Artists:

Rates:
License your existing art works and create new commissions from $1000 and up, with no revenue cap to your compensation for ongoing licensing and reproduction of popular pieces.

Project Specifications:
My fellow artists; ladies, and gentlemen; I am managing the supply side ( licensing ) of a new retail fine art distribution program for a well established and still rapidly growing USA based company which distributes world wide. What this means is that I am charged with licensing for reproduction and distribution, over 200 pieces of unique digital and traditional fine art, all to fall within the very broad themes related to “Female ; Character and Figurative” works. Focusing however, on Sub themes of “Fantasy”, “Magna”, “warrior goddess”, “Animation” “Anime”, “Action”, “Comic Hero” “Action Hero”, Ninja, “ Heroine” “ Samurai”, “Villain”, “Angels”, ” Ferry”, “Sports” , “ lifestyle”, etc. , We are focusing in on single character, ¾ to full body figurative works with both simple and complex background settings with an emphasis on young, sexy, and athletic though nothing beyond G & PG rated will be viable. Please keep in mind that our target demographic is female, ages 4 thru 17 yrs.

Business Philosophy:
As an artist and artist rep, I find my loyalties lay with the artist in any licensing agreement and that there is always a way to negotiate an equitable win/win for all parties involved. My philosophy is that the artist should always continue to benefit from their craft to at least an equal degree as the distributor of their work to avoid unfair exploitation of the creative community. As a working artist and former Silicon Valley entrepreneur with significant experience as Sr. Tech Recruiter and Staffing Mgr, Director of Business Development, and Executive V.P. of Sales, I have found that such fairness is easily achieved through diligence in contract negotiation with the goal being a fair and equitable licensing agreement for all.

Submissions:
• Send all image files as e-mail attachments only ( NOT files inserted into html code of message body)
• Subject line of “ Art Submission ” on e-mails.
• Please submit low to medium resolution .jpg images for consideration.
• Size: Suggest no larger than 6X8 inches at 100 dpi ( max file size of 2 MB or less) please.

• Please do not submit imagery for which you do not hold unlimited licensing rights. If all of your work is encumbered by copyright held by former employers but you wish to be considered for similar future commissions, please specify this fact with each of your submissions. Releases will eventually be required for every piece and nothing submitted will be used or reproduced for sale without your prior authorization and even then, by written licensing agreement only.
• No watermarks please as we cannot have our client’s and review committee knowing which pieces are from which artists.

Make submission to me directly, Mark Fort : Artist.Fort@Gmail.com

Wow, I really love this one. What inspired you to do this? It reminds me of an abstract take on Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia. Most likely with Lucy or someone, but that's just me. :)

You always do such a fantastic job with the detail on the clothing. Great job as usual, but I've come to expect that from you :P

this is pretty amazing. i think leaving the gender of the human ambiguous would have created a lot more of interest for the piece.
