Added in the shiny reflections and he is pretty much done. I'd like to touch up certain areas after resting for a bit, but I may as well show him off early.

This is "Regal", a male Australian blue swimmer crab that took nearly 250 hours to paint, spanning over 3 years

From yesterday's dog walk. A smoky sky and thunderstorms building up. Lightning didn't arrive until evening and doggo was supremely unbothered.

Still life sketch. The dental cast is a bit ick and I might replace with something cheerier if/when I repaint this in acrylics. Also make the box wonky to match the jam jar.

Unless you're First Nations, you're a descendant of immigrants. No gatekeeping on stolen land 🖤💛❤️
A bold, lino-cut style protest illustration on a bright yellow background. At the top, black hand-lettered text reads “UNLESS YOU’RE FIRST NATIONS,” above the head of an indignant black koala with yellow accents, staring directly forward and raising its middle finger. Below, more hand-lettered text reads “YOU’RE A DESCENDANT OF IMMIGRANTS. NO GATEKEEPING ON STOLEN LAND.” The word “STOLEN” is in red for emphasis.
