This painting is color on top of a composition of sketches from my 2007 sketchbook. I was really into Michael Gagne at the time. Actually I still like Gagne a lot. :)

This version has the pencil layer turned off and is at the contrast level I actually painted it at. I have a habit of bumping up the contrast when I finish a piece. I like the muscle definition in the other one but this one has some clean dreamy elements that are also nice.
