This is a painting I'm working on at the moment, about a couple of hours work down here on this board at the moment. Obviously heavily influenced by the work of Ashley Wood. It's a transcription piece I'm doing from a great spread he did in the Metal Gear Solid comic isuue #4 i think...anyway, it's actually great fun having enough time to just play around with a single image, and the lighting, composition, colour etc. Also my first time working with oil paints, which I really like now, they're like acrylics, but much better...really. I just like the whole thing of the paint taking ages to dry and for you to be able to play around with the image as much as you like.

Later today I'll post another version of this image, and a blueprint of how I hope it to turn out like.
