Hello,
Here's another "quick" personal painting of mine. Started it last Monday and now it's happily done. I found some interesting sketches from the depths of my harddrive, hehe, and wanted to do something about them.

The two are painted in PS and smoothed up in Painter, but mostly just in PS. The backgound is combination of couple of dark photos from my backyard, it served some good textures that fit the piece nicely.

These animals are for real, they are actually called red pandas, or lesser pandas. I'vehad a soft spot in my heart for them since I was veeery little so just couldn't help myself for doing a tribute for these wonderful creatures. They are also highly endangered species these days and needs a lot of help to survive.. back in the 60-70's, people took the wild pandas as pets because of their kind and non-aggressive nature. So the result is that wild pandas are nowhere to be found.. they only mate ONCE a year in just one day. Believe that?

As you can see, I have some passion for this piece.. .. hope you like it too!

This is in the next Exposé 6 on page 13 !! whopeee !
