PPF and Petro Carved Rock

Hello PPFers! I think I'm finally done with "Cliff Guardian". I put some detail into the lizard's head and the dwellings. Maybe I will do more later but for now I'm going to say its done.

I started thinking it would be nice to make a larger painting for a tshirt on Zazzle since the first ones were all from ACEOs or straight from the Wacom pad. So I started this sketch of an iguana rock band!

Next week I will start painting it with watercolors...but I couldn't resist goofing around in Photoshop Elements before I put the real paint on. I photographed the sketch as I went along and here's what I did in Photoshop to the lead guitar player before I drew the rest of the band on the paper.

I finally found the bag with some of the carved rocks I did for the Etsy shop a couple years ago. I'm still unpacking from our two major moves,lol. Might still be a while till I get the shop back up but in the meantime I can show ya the rocks from here.
 Happy PPF. Thank you Eva and Kristin for hosting our party every Friday !!!! Hugs, Deb

    This really turned out great. It was nice to see its development. I love lizards.Here in Turkey we have these small lizards with turquoise tails. I wonder if they are geckos.

      Oh I would love to see a photo of the lizzies with turquoise tails, how beautiful. We have a lizard here called a blue tailed skink but it is more of a dark blue, very pretty though!
