Artist's Note:
Full Process
The video below is provided for those with more of an interest in the full process than the above (more artistic) timelapse can provide. This is because here instead of a recording out of the software (Rebelle 7 Pro) of a timelapse of the paint on the canvas, this video is of a screen recording of the software itself as I worked.
The video below is about 30 minutes in total, which is showcasing my work vastly sped up for the sake of brevity. It showcases all of the tools and references I used, and gives a better understanding of the work involved than the artistic timelapse can provide. Currently I do not have any recording equipment for video, but really all that would be added would be me sat in front of a graphics tablet working on and looking at exactly what you see on screen in the video below.
The only thing not recorded on this particular project was the slight image editing I performed during post production (white balancing, slight colour tweaks, etc.) which would have been done in On1 Photo Raw and / or Affinity Photo. I like to do as much as I can directly in Rebelle these days as this limitation helps me focus.

About this Artwork
All of these portraits of animals were hand painted in digital media. No ai generation. No auto-painting.
