Beautiful work!! And congratulations on the work!! They're definitely getting top quality for their buck with you!
Just out of curiosity, how do you do your paintings? Is it all digitally drawn or do you hand draw line work, scan and colour in CS and Painter? Either way, the result is awesome!

Thanks! I hand draw pencil lines, paint under them until I'm happy with the overall color layout, then slowly overpaint and erase them. For some reason, it's just faster/easier for me to draw by hand, and always has been - the most I'll do on the compy for drawing is pull a sketch into Painter and detail small characters, but I rarely do that.

Heh. Um. A goddess among women is I think what you meant, but I'm flattered in any case.
