Fukuiraptor on Takefu-shin Station’s Platform

Continuing from the last dinosaur-in-a-strain-station painting I did, here’s a fukuiraptor on the platform of the local line with some schoolgirls. Pretty self-explanatory.

This one was done in oils rather than digital like the last one. Unfortunately I really couldn’t do a decent scan of it no matter how I tried and how I adjusted the file afterwards, so the image above looks kind of washed out and strangely colored. The actual piece is a bit more vivid. I’m trying to decide whether to continue the piece in oils or digitally… looking at the physical painting I want to continue the series in oils, but when I look at them on the screen, the digital one looks far crisper.

Update: I’ve reuploaded a higher resolution image. The detail of the oil painting is a bit clearer now.

It’s been a long time coming, but finally the paint is dry and I was able to scan this huge painting. It took about two weeks to paint, and I’m sending it to Nagoya for a gallery tomorrow, so I was able to scan it just in time. It took 9 separate scans and a lot of stitching to put this image together, so the color isn’t entirely uniform in this scan. Other than that, I hope this picture speaks for itself. And I hope it’s been worth the long wait with no new artwork. You can click the painting for a larger version.
