The Holy Hare God

The Holy Hare God has been guarded by the Temple Saluki Pack, specially bred for generations to perform the sacred rites and ponder the mysteries of their fearsome sect.

Oh, and this is the image that is going to be the month of October in my 2012 Saluki Calendar.

Going with the Animal Prints

I dug through Susan's collection of ASA Newsletters, specifically ones from the early 70's and came up with these 3 figures.  they weren't part of the same win pictures, but I think that each is interesting.  The dog is going to have a bindle coat, like tiger stripes.  The clothes of the judges and winner will feature prints too.

Music to draw by: Aerosmith, AC/DC, PJ Harvey, Om (lots'a Om)

Break Time

It's coming together.  A little more work here and there, on the painting of the dog.

Music to draw by: Om, Modest Mouse

Wyatte Comes Through!

I was ready with my camera phone when Wyatte gave me the pose I've been waiting for!  See Downtime below.  Good girl!

Downtime

I'm waiting for the right pose from one of our girls (Wyatte, that's you) to help me finish the lounging artist's model on the right.  One of these days Wyatte will twist around on her back and throw her legs in the air and I'll be right there with a camera.

The Idol

The Hare God is watched over by the Temple Salukis.

I'm working on a composition of three dogs leaping from a small cliff. This is a line tracing that will hopefully tell me whether or not to pursue it as a digital painting. Too late, I've already started.
