That is a beautiful painting Stan! I love the proportions of the figures and the composition. The first book cover with Usagi riding the horse has always been my favorite but this is running a close 2nd.

Thanks for showing us how you worked on this piece. It 's always interesting to see how other artists work.

Some of the photos were taken on my drawing table, under artificial light. The "blue paper" photo were taken at dusk in the shade. The final ones were taken in sunlight, and probably look pretty close to the original art.
