New Sketch: The Ferryman of Hades

At long last, here's something I can actually share with everyone. 

This is a new sketch for a painting i'm working on called "The Ferryman of Hades." I'm creating the piece for an upcoming art book called Lands and Legends. I look forward to getting started painting on this one!

MFA Adventures - Badru Sketch #1

Lately, i've been steady working both on freelance jobs and some images for my projects as a part of the Low Residency MFA in Illustration program at the Hartford Art School. If you remember back to this post I had done a quick book dummy for an alternate version of Jack and the Beanstalk set in an Orientalist setting. I may or may not continue with it entirely as part of my thesis project, but I still enjoy a lot of the imagery. So I figure I'll at least do a few of the spreads as paintings. Here's my first sketch for one of the paintings.
