I loved this picture so much I had to paint it.

I spent.... a lot time on this. Not totally happy with it, but I learned a lot! I think it's time to stop messing it with and move on. Might try a repaint at some point.
I repainted the smoke four times. The fire more or less went off without the hitch. I changed the head a few times, like adjusted the anatomy, made the jaw wider and shorter, ect. Good times!
