New Pastel Commission

I've completed a commission for one of my framers. He wanted an image of Christ, preferably from the side, and he didn't elaborate beyond that so this image is what I was able to come up with. IMO, something with a diffused background and strong contrast is a good way to try and convey a sense of the sublime, and I hope that he will find it appealing.

Mosquito Pastel Updated

Here's an updated image, it's only slightly different with a few highlights added on the aircraft and clouds and some minor details on the aircraft completed. Again, it's pieced together from a small scanner, but I would like to have it professionally scanned or photographed at some point, and if/when it is I will update the pic.

Mossie by Night

A new pastel depicting a Mosquito by night. Oil pastel on paper. This one is actually unfinished, still need to do some tweaking. I had to scan it in pieces so if there is any inconsistency in the image, that's the reason. When it's complete, I'll have a proper scan made.
