No, they're not koi, I know.. sounded better than goldfish balloon holding boy. :/

I spent the majority of my day working on this, in fact I haven't had anything to eat and my head is now throbbing. This was meant to be the cover of my balloon tutorial... but I like it as a stand alone painting, so it looks like I'll have to do another for that.

I rendered the boy more than I had meant to, so I forced myself to stop, prying my own tablet-pen out of my pudgy ickle fingers.

This was featured in issue 14 of ImagineFX magazine in the "Henning Spotlight" So I have to say thank you to

and

for that... was very sweet of them. I haven't seen it yet, and am a little nervous about seeing it... haha but I've gotten letters from people who have read it and liked it, so I'm excited for it to arrive in the US.

damn I love the lighting on the boy.. incredibly.. captivating.

Baloons are well done and I like the whole composition. Great touch adding that ever so subtle background of what looks to be destroyed buildings..

okay lady. you've got some talent. lolz. just kidding.

this is probably one of the bestest works you've done. atleast according to me. the lighting on that boy is superb.

so this is how you're like when you don't eat. interesting.
