I wanted to add the jester to show that I wasn't using a toy model to paint it, it was constructed from scratch, I also don't use photo colors or swatches, I'm free with my color choices, I pick them from the color wheel not pre-made swatches. The upper left jester was a pre rendering, I call them 'mock-ups' for some reason, it's basically a quick coloring of what I intend the final to look like, usually the mock-up is done in an early lining version at low resolution, then I save it and possibly use it as reference for when I start the full resolution coloring.
added the wall girl just for fun, that's what the lines and flat colors looked like. There's also my atempt at Clint Eastwood, not from photoreference but I did measure his face proportions before doing the sketch, I think it looks more like the guy from CSI though XDD "He fell off the roof and died on impact, here in the Spring, dead after the Fall, boooyaahhh!" <- he's never said that but I wouldn't be surprised.
Anyway, the pirate girl is a work in progress, I started it actually a long time ago in 2008 and lost some interest in it, but I'm back on coloring it.
I really dig your clint eastwood. the picture of the chair on the left looks really interesting, and I admire your work with the jester, same as always.
thanks for this! it's pretty cool.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
