I've finally gone back to an acrylic painting I started in November. Yes... November. Thankfully, my Stay-Wet Palette is so awesome that it kept my paints moist that entire time. Science!

Rhincodon typus
My first whale shark, probably of many. I love them, especially their markings. It's not the most interesting of compositions, but I'd thought about adding a little entourage of fish and decided that'd be more suited to a picture closer to the surface. I'm definitely on an elasmobranch binge lately.Better quality on the website as always!

Stegostoma fasciatum
Isn't that one of the greatest scientific names you've ever heard? I love it. A quickish zebra shark, done for my good friend and fellow former marine educator Jessica Steele Allen, whose love for these cute little sharks is unmatched.Viewable in higher quality on the website, and you can also follow my FB page for in-progress images and stuff!

oh dear
Well, I got about this far with my manta rays...
...when my almost-eight-year-old tablet promptly shat itself and has been misbehaving ever since. I believe there is something tablet-shaped under the Christmas tree, though, because - like a 6'4, dark-haired, male Emma Frost - the Mr somehow knew.
But I mustn't dally on white lingerie. I doodled this horrible thing just now:
If you haven't been watching the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes series, you really should be. It had Mockingbird. In a cartoon!

Updates and apologies
Sorry for the severe lack of updates to my Marvel Alphabet! I've succumbed to a complete loss of motivation for it. I got so wrapped up in an acrylic painting that I'm still working on that I've moreorless abandoned it (at least for a while). I may get back to it, but at the moment my priorities are on commissions and my website.
Did I say website? Oh my!
http://www.jenrichardsart.com
I have plans to add more to it, like a blog specific to the site to document my process, but for now it acts as a portfolio for all those whales and dolphins I like to draw. I am however trying to branch out into other marine life (it's not like I lack the reference photos) - whenever I set out to draw something that isn't a cetacean it stills ends up being an orca most of the time, so here's a quick outline I just penciled that I'm about to start attacking with my tablet:
