A new year and a new Disney Hero!
Just a little gift for you all, to help you kick off the new year with best of energies!

I wanted to upload this one yesterday, on January 1st, but there was no time as on every January 1st I always doing something, cause well, it's the first day of the new year, but it's also my birthday! Yey for me! Gosh I had the best Italian ice cream of my life! And got some cool gifts too :P

But to back to busyness:
This is Dr. Joshua "StrongBear" Sweet, from Disney's 'ATLANTIS: The Lost Empire'. This one took me years to finish, but I'm very pleased with it! I had so many visions of how this portrait of one of Disney largest guys will come to be. At first I thought I'll do something with his Native American roots, obviously, but then I thought, 'yeah, it's too obvious for me'. So I went on to draw him as he appears in one of the scenes in the movie, with the white towel, trying to scare Moliere "The Mole" with the soap! So, this is like, after the shower, in the Ulysses submarine :D

There's something extremely fun in painting dark skin people, especially for this collection, as the light reflects differently on the the skin, and I could have so many shades of browns and blacks all over! And of course these white underwear creates great contrast with the darkness of his skin!

Well, as this is my first post for 2009 I really hope you'll it! Also, this can give you a window of all that there is to come for this year - and there's a lot of stuff already finished, just waiting for an upload! ;P

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
:kiss: :hug:
