Speedpainting for suntattoowolf. Total time taken was about 7 hours. Still want to improve on that speed a bit, but this was great to work on! Beautiful character, too.

Excellent work on the water and fish, the general backdrop environment and all that. Just great work on the whole picture if I'm being honest.
It was really interesting to see you working on the piece as well - across multiple streams. At some point I wouldn't mind trying out painting like this, would be a good experience and technically I have a bunch of speed-painting brushes.
Maybe Ill get back to you on that in a few months after I decide to give it a shot.

The level of detail alone is fantastic for 7 hours' work. I know you painted this three years ago and all, I have no doubt you've increased in speed since, but still, 7 hours for something like this is awesome. Just FYI, this would meet or exceed the expectations for for a day's effort for most Art Directors I've worked with.
It reminds me of folks like Church, Eastman Johnson and Alexander Rothaug in the way you've handled your value structure and in the small details that really sell the sense of place: the reflection of the sky in the water and the silhouettes of the tree canopy, in the clearly-rendered and careful way in which you've painted the various kinds of foliage (watery and otherwise), and maybe most of all in the way you've managed your dark values, going for rich hues that never get too close to black. You've made great use of crossing diagonals to drive the eye to the figure and the hue and value choices really make that figure stand out beautifully.
I love this piece. :D
