ArtOrder - Oso de la Fez

A quick update, if you were wondering why there was no post on Monday, I was on a much needed mini vacation and was completely away from my computer for four whole days. Now I have a stack of emails to deal with and work to catch up on. I plan to add a post tomorrow to make up for missing Monday.

Now down to business... Oso de la Fez! There was a special challenge announced last Friday over at ArtOrder and I had a little down time over the last four days to whip something up:


You can read the specifics of the challenge here, but the overview was to design the bear familiar, Oso de la Fez, created by Shelly Mazzanoble for her D&D game which she has been writing about for Dragon magazine. Yes, he is a circus bear. I had thought this piece was due today but while I was away from the Internet the due date moved to Sunday... better to be done early rather then late. You maybe wondering if I was away from my computer, how ever did I make this?!? I used analog techniques! Copic marker, colored pencil and gouache helped me through this. Let me know if you would like to see more analog work!
