Artist's Comments

I had to start this painting three times. The first time it was too large, and the second time the color went completely haywire, and finally the third time it took. I had taken the precaution of scanning my sketch and printing that on the watercolor paper, so I didn't have to physically redraw the otter every time, which is the only reason the painting ever got done. (Check my blog for more process commentary.)

Fooled with an abstract square background this time, akin to the one on the Blue Otter painting. It sort of works, but it's not quite there yet...maybe I need to do something Klimtian...

I kinda want to do prints of this very small, cut out the otter, and make weird ACEO collages...

Anyway! 8 x 10, mixed mixed mixed media, a little digital, a lot of acrylic, some ink, a good bit of colored pencil, etc. Original will probably go to MFF, unless someone wishes to snag it at the pre-con price. Send a note, drop a line, etc. Meanwhile, prints are available in two sizes at Red Wombat Studio:

Mmm...you seem to be going through my list of Favorite Creatures. If you do a raccoon I'll be suspicious.

That being said, this is otterly adorable.

I said on the last one blues would look better with the yellow to red gradient coloring. I'd like to think I was right... but results differ. then again, in my minds eye I saw a gradient that contrasted the the coloring of the subject. So light blue were there was red, and dark blues were there was yellow.
