The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

It’s probably mean to keep dragging this piece but

a) the P-51 was a design 4 years in the making

One of my favorite movies of all time is Everything Everywhere All At Once, and I just had to paint Michelle Yeoh in the vibrant Chinese opera outfit! This was painted when I was studying color and how to paint digitally.
