"The Bear at War"

So for this lovely painting, I wanted to do something for my husband, Jon because he is always there for me and is my number one fan. He is always supportive and gives me great tips and suggestions when I am painting. So I decided to test my skills once again and do this painting for him. 

He loves the game, Battletech. To keep the description simple, this is a Mech, and in the world of Battletech, it is a Madcat. Battletech has Clans, which are like factions. His favorite clan is the Ghost Bears, and Madcat is one of his favorite mechs. So I did a Ghost Bear paint job on a Madcat. This was a very difficult painting and really tested my abilities. There is so much detail on the Madcat, and while I really like this painting, I don't feel like I did it justice. 

For this progression post, I just want to have this block of text as the only one because I feel the progression shots don't need any explaining. I took the images at the right moments and you can really see it grow. So please enjoy watching the painting come to life!
