Poison Dart Frog Illustration

In progress shot on the poison dart frogs I posted a week or so ago:

Some detail shots from the finished illustration:

I was really blown away be the wide array of color these come in.  I was also impressed that my nine year old friend Ana, was able to name most of the color combinations when she came to visit.  I can see why poison dart frogs are such a favorite in all age groups despite their deadly nature.  They've certainly earned my respect.

Sea Otters Illustration, Color In Progress

This is the first above water view in the series, I'm keeping the gradient, but experimenting with a ripple highlight layer.  The overall effect is still peaceful, and the subjects are so sweet. I just want to squish them!  Why haven't more toilet paper companies used otters for spokes-critters.  They are perfect!
