Taking my courage firmly in both hands, here is my first image in this gallery. I would like to thank the guys who gave me such good advice about their eyes, back when this was a WIP.
Original: 1275 x 1650 x 300 ppi; Photoshop 5 & 7; stone texture photo taken for me by my daughter at the Getty Museum (a huge exterior facade stone).
The basic image was created for the art director at Technicraft Design. She liked the "couchant" hound while the editor wanted the standing hound for the Fera Vita supplement for the Pax Draconis role playing game. They bought both. The standing beast is to be used in the game book, and will be printed, like the rest of the beasties, in black and white. Yes, they didn't just grant me permission to post creature designs as the book was going to press, they flat out told me to do it.
All crits and comments will be accepted with appreciation.
