Color Sketchs

I thinking about painting these guys, made some very 'halolla päähän' sketches.:) It might help when starting the actual painting.

Some color tryouts:

Golden Sparrow

I watched yesterday Jackie Chan&Jet Li movie 'Forbidden Kingdom'. It was very 1980ish movie I think :) Here's a character from the movie, The Golden Sparrow. I love the cool codenames characters have in chinese movies. My favorite movie in this genre is Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger. I really love that 'old folk's' romance between Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-Fat.

Swan smoking a Liquorice pipe

The liquorice candy pipes may soon be illegal in Finland, because they might push children smoke cigarettes. Sounds like a gag from Monty Python, I think!
