Just a quick progress shot of my house so far...Going to stop here with the 3D and go back to trusty Photoshop. It's important that I don't get too carried away. I've just noticed scrolling past posts that while I did read and re-read The Picture of Dorian Grey (I'm using a Collins Classic 1st Edition published 1994), and noted everything of visual interest, but I haven't uploaded my mood boards of other Dorian Grey media:
The biggest nit pick I have is; Most the recent Dorian Grey's represented in media has dark hair, when the book states several times how fair he is and his blond strands of hair. So at least, when I'm painting the portrait I shouldn't make this mistake.
