Description
Speedpaint done in somewhere between 1.5 and 2 hours. I used a reference photo from Stock.Xchng , but didn't trace, otherwise the proportions would have been correct. Done mostly in Painter IX, but I got the head too big, imported it into Photoshop to shrink the head, and discovered too late that after I shrunk the head and took it back into Painter, the digital watercolor layer had dried and wouldn't let me blend properly, so I had to disguise the line where I shrank it with the airbrush tool, which was a less-than-successful thing. Ah well.

No, it's not going to be finished. The idea was to get a reasonable image in a short amount of time. It's an exercise rather than a final piece.
