Illustration Friday - Strength

This week's topic is strength. The following image is not new, but to me it pictures strength better than anything else I could think of (at the moment). It's a fusion of photographs I took at the Botanical Gardens (in Cambridge, UK) and a bit of drawing. I first created it for a competition with the topic "Fusion". It's not an easy picture and most men seem to hate it, but it is one of my favourites.

Illustration Friday - Night

This image is a bit late since it is for last week's topic, however once I'd finished it I still wanted to show it. I've just been so busy with work, household, kids, going to a wedding and this that and the other... I wish there were more hours in the day.

The production process was the same as for the last image (see below - Going Gorey).
