About the piece: This piece was made to commemorate CNY, the year of the Serpent! Frost is a Polar Bear Naga Serpent Thingy (official description) and his owner wanted him in a US Navy submarine commander's uniform. Probably the most tedious part of this was getting all the insignia right and in the correct places but the portrait itself was a breeze. The first version had a very contrasting brilliant blue but this more weathered color communicates the age and experience of this veteran.
As you might notice, this painting's style quite different from the usual, it's a lot rougher, more painterly. When I received this commission, I was quite interested in the art of Greg Rutkowski and was studying from a few tutorials of his. Since my background is in classical art, I've always searched for an approach that would work both in traditional oils and in digital and his was pretty close.
