This is what I need to get back to.Β Β Showed it to my wife, told her it was a sketch.Β Β She said, "That's a SKETCH??? You need to do that!!"Β Been shorting the time I spent on each piece to try to make faster easier money. Β Short cuts do not work.Β Most I spent on a sketch is 50 hours.Β You have 140 quality, disciplined hours into this piece of art that would make Michael Angelo and Leonardo Da Vinci blush and wonder why they have never done something this good. Β Β You brought up the bar for me MalcomShortt. Β Time to make some serious art, and quit screwing around.Β Very inspired and impressed.Β I am stepping up to the plate now sir!Β Thank you! Β Β

I am humbled by your kind words and support Dave. This is what makes all the effort worthwhile. I hear you - it is difficult to balance the large work with paid commissions. I look forward to seeing your more indulgent artworks soon!

Thanks! It was a long haul - I normally don't go over 100 hours so it was worth the extra.
