Cthulhu Wizard in progress, part III: the secret of Magic Green™
A quick update, the latest work-in-progress photo of the 'Cthulhu Wizard' painting:
Things are developing nicely, I've fleshed out enough of the values (light and dark) to get a sense of things. Momentum usually speeds up now that there's some sense of order, and more and more fall into place.
Astute blog readers may notice that I am using 'magic green™' once again. I had an epiphany the other night... my fascination for that color might stem back to a glow-in-the-dark toy from a box of Captain Crunch cereal! You see, my mom didn't buy the fun sugary breakfast cereal that most other kids ate (I appreciate it now, but it wasn't quite as special to me then). Healthy cereal never had any fun toys, I guess health was supposed to be some sort of gift... again, lost on me at the time. A childhood friend gave me an extra toy he got from Captain (is it Cap'n??) Crunch, a light green blob of plastic in the shape of the sugary sea-farer himself. It was my first glow-in-the-dark anything, and it might as well have been magic.
