Rest In Peace Dempsey

This is a painting of a dear friend's Westie, Dempsey. He passed away just over two weeks ago. I lost my first Westie, Finnegan in Jan of 2012 and I was beyond crushed. I wanted to give her something to remember him by. Although I know she has a ton of photos and even other drawings by me-more cartoony. In fact we met when she won an auction for a custom illustration.
I love the way this turned out-but to be honest, it was hard. I cried and cried while painting. Dempsey is missed by all who knew him. I hope you like it.

These are some iPhone mock ups for the first month's assignment. I may do other designs as well. I am also enrolled in a children's picture book course, so I am burning the candle at both ends, and of course working on a new picture book, an animation job at the end of the month and commi
