So, here are four suggestions to chose from, but again, I am happy to learn about your wildest boar thoughts.

So, here we have a cool Sau on holidays (Mallorca Sau?), a Swiss Sau (in the Animal Farm production of Wilhem Tell), a victorious Sau, and a cocktail Sau.

The swiss and the victorious ones are my favorites, with the swiss being ahead in the race for sympathy ever so slightly.

It’s your say now.

Here’s another one of those ArtRage sketches. While I try to figure out what to do with die Sau, one of you might be able to tell me how to spell Halali! correctly. Suggestions regarding the Sau are also most welcome.

It could just stand there as far as I am concerned; I like the greenish fur. I am not opposed to more radical ideas though. The Sau could be part of piece of party finger food (Wildschweinspiesschen) – I think I like that, too. Cherry on top and all that. Or it could be in an Animal Farm production of Wilhelm Tell (apple on top). Or it could be a price-winning Sau, with a collar and crown from laurel and oak.

The more I think about it, the more I like it, my versatile Sau.

When the Milk Goes Off is, I think, the right title.

It's not the real thing of course. It doesn't smell of Turpentine and dammar to begin with, and it doesn't quite provide the satisfaction obtained from real brush and canvas work, but it is as close as it gets on a computer screen.

I have recently re-discovered ArtRage, added a small Wacom Bamboo Fun graphics tablet to my kit, and played around with ArtRage by way of sketching and trying out of ideas. For this, I find the tool fantastic.

So, here's a sketch for a future painting that I made with ArtRage. I think I might call it Bite, Carp, Bite! but suggestions are most welcome. You can click the little image on the left for a larger version.
