Ended up painting a white peacock today! I didn't sketch this one either. Freehand painting is very liberating.

Here's a painting of a wolf done in the same media in 2014. I gave the original to Tony Kakko (lead singer of Sonata Arctica) in person. It's still one of my fondest memories. It's good to look back from time to time to see how far you've come.

Oh yeah, I forgot to list one of the most important things that I use to make these pieces - a lot of Amorphis.
