King Kong Painting Progress

I’m currently at the Montreal Comic-Con and having a blast. As matter of fact, I’m having so much fun that I’m exhausted. I’ll try to report what I did later, after I get some sleep.

Although I’m in midst of 4 projects, I sometimes need to take a breather and cleanse my mind by doing something completely different and for fun. I’ve been working on this giant King Kong painting for about 3 years now. Working on and off whenever time permits, mostly off. The painting stands at 48″ x 60″.

Well, I got the painting bug and decided to have another whack at it recently. At this point, I really want to nail down the features and anatomy before I start fussing with the color. This is the fourth time I’ve changed Kong’s head, and I think I’ve almost nailed it. At this point, I just want to keep working on it. But alas, Marvel deadline beckons and I have to put my brushes down and head on down to the salt mine.

More updates on the Kong painting whenever I have another go at it.
