Free Art Day 37

3.5 x 2.5 ink on watercolor paper.

I was working on one of the kickstarter custom cards yesterday and really enjoyed the way certain aspects of the ape looked in ink. I utilized some of the same aspects I enjoyed from the custom card in the face and transitions of this creature, especially around the eyes. 

I started the card with strange ram horns but scrapped that part and kept the face. I was on a google hangout with my sweetie in Texas while I worked on the card. We discussed giving it a body to fill up the space or using a long neck. He said with the facial expression it lent itself more to the neck, and I agreed. I enjoy the dynamic of wonder created when a creature does not show it's entire form. What could come after the neck?

And the winner is...

Congratulations Judy L <>< you are the winner of todays drawing! I hope you will consider naming your creature card. Should you prefer not to we have had a few great suggestions that were offered on the blog.
