My day job is keeping me busy, and the art I am working on is secret for now - so here's a throwback to my first time using pastelmat for colour pencil - really need to do another full piece on pastelmat - was so excited at being able to layer white over dark!!!

Been a while since ive done a big art piece. So here this cool idea I had to put Virgil in an older style setting. Meant to be kind of VIctorian Era. Came out well I think!

Today celebrate the highly endangered Wild Dogs, or Painted Dogs-an incredible animal found in many African counties, though primarily in southern Africa. They are endangered due to habitat loss & poaching. They are very social & hunt in packs. Their primary adversaries are Lions & humans. #wilddog #painteddog #endangered #africa #predator https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCap0eLTHQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
