Here’s a painting that sat around for a long time. I never sketched the body out to my satisfaction. Initially, this painting was my attempt to try and not outline a figure in black and instead go with a realistic type look that, say, Frazetta does with his oil paintings. It didn’t work out, thus, the painting sat around. So I picked it up and immediately inked out the body work, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best; I didn’t want to be disgusted by it anymore. After correcting the body shape I tried to envelope the fire around the body and blend it in with what came before. I hope it goes unnoticed.
