Countdown to KublaCon painting competition: 39 days
My painting process is getting thrown sideways in a number of ways on this project. First it was having to put the model on a base before painting it. Now I've found myself in the position of having to get most of my base coating done before doing highlight and shading work. This is a departure from my normal process where I tend to work a single area to completion and then move on to another area. On the one hand, I feel it's a good thing to change up my process to see if something different works better. On the other hand, I'm worried that changing my process on what is meant to be a competition piece. I guess only time will tell.
This photo shows the current state of the flesh, but I've only done base coating and highlighting. There's a lot of shading to do now and to bring the tone back in line with the rest of the piece. However I'm likely going to start working on another area before doing the shading. I think this will help me with my overall composition which is where my biggest skill growth area is now I feel.
Ugh! 39 days to go! I'll never make it at this rate. I need to sleep less and paint more.

Its looking good so far. And you are farther than I on my Janissa throwdown with Lance. I've got the base done...the model, is starting at me coldly with its blue eyes (I've got the skin done, then realized I missed some of the flash)
