Mystery Machine WIP - Update

Okay, I thought I wouldn't be working on this for awhile but I've been up since 4:00 am with coughing fits and a sore throat (Some sort of Creeping Crud is working its way through our family...I just hope I'm not Patient Zero...).

This is pretty typical of how I work on projects.  I'm usually making changes on the fly, and often really good ideas don't come up until the project's partially completed.

I think I'm going to continue with these mini-updates.  I wasn't planning on it as I usually just post stuff when it's done, but I think it'd be nice to see how a piece slowly evolves into the final product, at least for me.  I have very few pics of my stuff when it's only partially done.  Plus it'll show the difference it makes to go back and clean up the painting, and what Army Quickshade does, and all that stuff.

But as for now, I'm going to guzzle some highly alcoholic cough-syrup.  'Nite...
