The painting of Young Icarus is all but finished.  There are always a number of minor touch-ups and tweaks that take place in the final days of a painting’s progress, but they are usually subtle enough that they would go un-noticed in a digital photo.   So, until I can get a professional photographer to one-up my camera handling…here is a final image of Icarus as a Boy.  I haven’t settled on a final title yet, as seems to be my style.  Enjoy!

Yes, it’s toga time here again in the studio.  This time my model was actually in cosume for the photo shoot, which made things considerably easier on me.  One might expect that Asher running around in a tiny sheet at the neighborhood park in 50 degree weather (he earned his pay that day) would raise some eyebrows, but then the park is across the street from a frat house…

I blocked in the winged figurine the young Icarus is flying today.  I’m temporarily satisfied with the way it turned out.  Once the rest of the figure is complete, I may reevaluate.  Stay tuned….
