Strong Grip WIP and behind the scenes

Here is a small preview of a supporter exclusive piece I currently have in the pipeline.

After doing the little fun facts sheet for Maisie I thought that the tall mousie deserves some more love. So here she is getting love from her boyfriend Dylan! :D

He got a good grip on her to keep her from flying off like a bottle rocket when he comes.

As you can see I already applied flat colours and started shading Maisies privates a tiny bit.
I also marked the area where I will crop the painting when it is finished. Establishing that cropping area is something I do for every piece I paint. I usually do that rectangle after I am done with the flat colours. That way I do not waste time shading parts that will not be visible in the finished piece.

I have not yet decided if I am going to add a condom. On one hand condoms look very hot but on the other it would contradict the silly bottle rocket analogy...
