Finally wrapping up the first assignment for the Oatley Academy. I chose a painting from Anthony Van Dyck, and replaced the subject with a chameleon - THUS, the fancy chameleon! As you can see there are some areas where the colors clearly aren't as matched up as I had thought they were (this is why we stand back from our work! Working too closely/zoomed in as I did distorts our perspective, allowing us to make obvious mistakes and oversights, yikes!) I plan on adding some texture to the chameleon's skin, resolving the nose/mouth area, darkening some areas and lightening others before submitting it to the "Secret Lab" group forums for critique. It's time to get back to the ole Wacom for another round of touch ups!!
