sepia sketch

This if hte first sketch for my dads photo. I have shot new referance for this project as well. There will be either no skull at all or have it behind the hands/pipe. There is also the possibillty for a hawk, wolf and moose coming from the smoke but i'll sort that out eventually as for the compositional aspects.

finish 1

ok, its still being clonestamped and such but here is the pretty much finish of the frog. I agreed with Nate that it still feels slightly controlled in the water motion and doesn't maintain the same fluidity as the Goose. I had screwed up in making a bubble around the frog and fly which ticked me off after I look at it knowing that I had played it "safe" with the vignette so to speak. It is what it is...
