I’ve been super busy with work and planning my daughter’s birthday (she wants a ghost hunter themed party!  Couldn’t be prouder!)  I have been managing to get work done on the painting nonetheless.  Got the character’s pretty well blocked in and I’ve started plugging away on the ship and background.  I’m not super happy with the clouds and water I have in my comp so I’ve started pulling new reference of a more active sky and water.  Here is the latest image of the work.  I am hopeful I will have the values blocked in after about two more week’s work.  Keeping my fingers crossed that nothing comes up and gets in the way.
