Best Friends

Part of a big multipart commission I completed. The first time I had really done some art for a sizeable amount of money. This was created from an initial brief. Firstly I produced some sketches to make sure I was going in the right direction with comments and modifications along the way. I tweaked my style slightly generally to be more of an illustrative look and had to focus more on a playful theme rather than the dark edge I usually employ.

I needed to emphasize that the chicken and dog were best friends and I came up with the idea of having matching necklaces! The background is based on a reference photo I took at my parents house, it is always nice to put something personal into a piece of art!
