Artist trading card exchange at CAG – fall 2014

    As usual, the ATC exchange at CAG today was a lot of fun. Here are my contributions to the event:

    I love how the fall edition of the ATC exchange happens around my Birthday. This year it’s on a day before, so I got four early Birthday gifts:

    Artist trading card exchange at CAG

      I planned to try something new with ATC for this exchange at CAG: galloping horse hooves, parts of horse faces, or something like that. Instead, I ended up with four whole horse heads.

      Maybe the fact that Newborn is taking longer than anticipated to get finished has something to do with it, I don’t know.

      Here are the heads:
