Robot Tank
Doodled this while I was waiting for the IT Department to install some software on my machine:
Pretty much one of those stream-of-consciousness sketches, where I wasn't quite sure where I was going with it at first. There are a couple things I like about the final piece, particularly the earthy subdued tones.

New robot noggin
Doodled while waiting for a midnight showing of the newest Harry Potter movie...
Btw, the movie was really good. Not as much action as the previous films I thought, this one was more about character development, with nice bits of quirk and nuance everywhere. Also loved the cinematography; there were a couple scenes where, in the way they were shot, I was like hey, that's fun! All in all a good time, but now after not having gotten to sleep last night 'til 4 in the morning, I'm quite zombified...

Freelance finished (hopefully)
Here are the finished paintings, albeit scaled down considerably:
I ended up editing the panther quite a bit; the others stayed pretty much the same, relatively speaking. It's a shame these are going to be printed on umbrella panels, a lot of the art is going to wind up being cropped out... C'est la vie. At least it's done, unless the client requests some changes, which usually ends up being the case.
At any rate, I'm going to go sleep now.

Last one! Mr. Sea Otter:
So most of the heavy lifting is done, it should be pretty downhill from here...

Here's another piece of the freelance project, this one's a gray wolf:
In order to bump up the colors, I superimposed the layer with a copy, and set the copied layer to "Hard Light" mode... that has the effect of increasing the color saturation, while tightening up the contrast, for a bit more pop.
It's kind of reminiscent of some old gouache and acrylic illustration from a 50's textbook...
