As with the tarot, the challenge is to try and find my own approach to images that have been rehashed over and over by so many artists. Maintaining the meaning and symbology while applying my own touch.
Some of the early designs I've got simmering in my sketchbook:
These are very exciting. I'm going to enjoy the animals. Will we get to see the finished paintings, or have to wait until the calander is published?
ReplyDeleteNo, I should be posting the finished pieces as I go!
ReplyDeleteThis should be good! Make sure you do a breathtaking Sagittarius ;). Sketches are looking awesome.
ReplyDeleteWould also love to see you continuing with your Year of the Dragon, Chinese Zodiac.
ReplyDeleteYour fish and underwater scenes are fabulous so I'm really looking forward to your take on pisces :D
ReplyDeleteLove the Aries ram though - very noble !
And yeah, I bet Sagittarius will be awesome ...
Very cool so far, I like the arch designs at the bottoms. Virgo has a lovely flow and I like the lotuses. I'm also looking forward to seeing Pisces ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's Cancer actually. Haven't gotten to Virgo yet!
ReplyDeleteOpps, my bad. I just saw the female figure and jumped to conclusions. No wonder I love it seeing as its a water sign, which should have given me a clue earlier ~slaps forehead~...
