Man, that's wonderful. It really gives me memories of those old animation movies I used to saw. That's great. :)

Thanks you guys!

DragonGX: It's kind of too late for fixes on this one (it could use a little more glisten in the water over all), it's been hanging on someone elses wall for a couple of years now.

michael see: masonite is a woodfibre board product, comes in various thicknesses 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch etc. I used 1/8 inch and I did gesso it first. I also used an under-coating of acrylic paints to block in all the base colors before I started in with the oils.
