Another wrestler sketch popped into my mind. Should I be worried? I imagine she’s a rival to the other wrestler, but where he’s down on his luck, she’s on top of the world.

Last nature painting this trip. The ipad was out of juice so this one was a finger painting on the phone. Love an old rotting log and listening to the wind in the trees.

One more with the character from my “wicked blade” night sketch. It was partly inspired by the massive spider infestation at work and partly because I just wanted to see her wreck something with that magic sword.
