Clouded Leopard Continued...

Here's the next step in the process. There was about four hours worth of work between this photo and the last one that was taken. All that consisted of was patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) marking each visible hair with a single brush stroke. This however, is my favorite part of completing any painting. It's the work of detail that is the most enjoyable as the image begins to slowly take on the look of the finished product.

Ah! It is beginning to look alive!

"PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION" AND IN OUR MODERN ERA, PRIDE AMONG THE NATURAL SCIENCES HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF OVERESTIMATING OUR KNOWLEDGE, OF ARROGATING FOR SCIENCE A KIND OF OMNISCIENCE THE WE DO NOT IN FACT HAVE. OR, TO REFINE IT A BIT: "PLAYING GOD" MEANS WE CONFUSE THE KNOWLEDGE WE DO HAVE WITH THE WISDOM TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
