At any rate, here's what I was working on. Maybe I'll come back to it some time.
After sketching in pencil in my Moleskine, I worked on this sketch in ArtRage.
Click to enlarge if you wanna. The idea was to have a small group of explorers climb down a rope and see this huge feathered therizinosaur sitting in a brass filigree cage - with many damaged bars. Actually, considering how close the therizinosar looks to a Jabberwocky, that may as well be Alice standing there (Yeah, I'm excited to see Tim Buton's latest.)
I based the therizinosaur's pose on my parrot I used to have, Sam. He was a blue-front Amazon, and would often display his wings one at a time, his tail feathers and feathers on his neck.
Here's me and Sam back in the day.

Ooh, I like the color scheme so far!
I really like the feel of it :)
Thank you Trish, thank you B! Your comments are really encouraging. I wish I had time to finish it this week, but school comes first. I realized last night I'm less than two months away from my B.F.A. Yikes.
