Update on painting

So this is the latest update to the painting. The next image I post will be the finished piece, its taking a little while to finish this painting because I am painting from life and I have to make sure that the model (Charohn) has time to pose. So each session that she can sit for me is about 2 -3 hours. Please let me know your thoughts on the progress so far.

ALEX ROSS'S MARVELS

So It has been  while since I last posted, been a little busy getting prepared to move. Anyway I just bought and read this graphic novel that Alex Ross illustrated. It is an amazing story, the entire book compiles all the editions together in one. The story is very different from your traditional comic or graphic novel about super heroes. The story focuses on human beings and what they go through as new marvels and super heroes barge into their life. In the novel it focuses on a photographer and his experiences in a marvel world.

Great buy and amazing visuals, If you do not know Alex Ross visit his website and be amazed. He breathes human emotions and reality into his characters and you actually feel like you are reading a real life story or a live action film with all the plot twisting and character relations of human beings.
