Okay, okay, I know. March 6th has rolled around, and the image isn't finished. Turns out all of my free time has been devoted to finishing all the random little jobs around the house. And my wife is serious this time, so I've done a lot, just not on the project. But I'll just have to find a way to do it anyway.

Well, here's the next update. Starting to have some fun now, although I'm still pretty busy, but I want to finish this by next saturday (March 6th). Anyway, haven't painted much stone before, so the wall in the background is a first for me. Needless to say, I like it so far, but it's early and still time for me to stumble on the intricacies that surely exist.

Here's an update on the first illustration. I'm still pretty busy with some things outside of illustration, and I might have a website that I committed to doing a while ago start back up, but I'm still going to try to keep this up.

Well, okay. I've been very busy lately, and not with art. Laurel and I are in charge of the Ward Youth Conference, so most of my free time lately has been devoted to that.

Anyway, my first illustration is going to be of Dallben, reading from the book of three. Here are two sketches, ideas for the illustration, and the colored image is my under-painting for the illustration. Doing it in photoshop, if you're interested.

Anyway, I hope to get some time at some point to pick this up more seriously. But please, don't give up on me yet.

Here's the update. A few pictures of Dallben, the old wizened keeper of Caer Dallben, where the story starts, as well as a few more sketches of Taran, our hero. I think I'm ready to start in on the first illustration, which, hopefully, I can finish and post some regular updates on.

Anyway, until next time.

Well, I, uh... yeah. I haven't been good at updating the blog as much as I'd like. I'll have you know that I've been drawing almost everyday still, just haven't had time to update things, but I'll do it tomorrow. I promise.

Or maybe saturday...
