Finally got the Tiki/Polynesian cards done! I was painting right up to the deadline (typical of us artist types). I had a lot of fun with these. Not just with getting a variety of ideas out but I think I did better with the color than the KRAMPUS cards from last December. Maybe doing a couple color comps on the computer helped and maybe it all seems like way too much time invested in these but I'm looking to do my best work.
Enlarged, like the top image, you can see how loose my watercolor painting was but, reduced to their original size, they don't look half bad.
Below is the infamous naughty card, blurred to protect young eyes. I did nine cards in total but was able to keep one. This is the one I kept, not out of embarrassment, but because I really like the colors and gradients. I had a hard time choosing one since there were about 4 different ones I could have easily kept. But I'm trying to not get too precious about my art and be able to let go of it and send it off into the world.
And, as before, you can click on the below color sheet to enlarge and see the naughty one along with the whole series together.
