More Ogres

Creating yesterday's ogre got me to thinking about a couple that I had created earlier. The one with the ogre emerging from a cave was painted two years ago. The lighting was inspired by a John Singer Sargent figure study. I really liked the interplay of the light and shadow in his drawing. I tried to get the same flavor here. I hate the club. It looks like he's carrying a big turkey drumstick! I resisted the urge to "fix" it. Its good to look back on older pieces. They show you how far you've come and how much farther you need to go.

The second one was also started in 2006, but was never finished. This was of an ogre hoisting a few at the local pub. I was working in Photoshop on this one. The other was created in Painter.
